Entertainment commentator @TvblogbyMLU shared the news of the show being canned on Twitter (X).

He wrote:

"BREAKING! Skomota’s reality show has been canned by @MojaLoveTv after his team demanded R1 million for the show. This comes after they have shot two episodes. Skomota has since been touring the UK."

Entertainment commentator Mlungisi Mbokazi spoke to Briefly News about why the show was canned.

He said:

"I recall breaking the news on X about this reality show… it had a lot of negativity. People were asking if it was wise for the channel to move in this direction. Skomota is quite popular because of his online dance moves, but the channel pushed it with the reality show… again cancelling was not based on the above.
"Still, the money is being asked by his management. So, based on what he can bring to the table, I think 1 million was a bit too much…why not at least 500K…is his brand even worth 1 million. Can we please be realistic here."
