Gospel and hip-hop went head-to-head in more ways than the on-field play when Mzansi music stars gathered for the Celebrity Soccer Games at the weekend.

The latter accused the Gqom team of gaining an advantage in the game by fielding nine non-eligible players, infringing on the tournament rules.
A clip shared by X user @NduMncube showed the altercation, with the captains of each side — Big Zulu, Mkokstad, Khuzani (Maskandi) and DJ Tira (Gqom) — gathered on the sidelines during the stoppage to discuss the matter.
The video shows Mkokstad attempting to explain the impasse to SABC Sports presenter Andile Ncube to interruptions from an agitated Big Zulu.
He stated:
"We came from Durban to come and play. Now, when we got here, as Gospel, we had 11 eligible players based on the tournament rules, which set out, among others, that [at least] one woman has to play.
"Gqom, firstly, decided not to follow that rule. Secondly, DJ Tira claimed that he tried to include a woman in the game.
"According to the rules, a woman has to play for a minimum of 10 minutes. They only fielded a woman for the last four minutes of the match, disadvantaging Gospel.
"Mind you, they were already leading that game. DJ Tira also brought 11 professional players. Yet the rules state that the players have to be artists and must have released albums."
Big Zulu emasculates Mkokstad
A belligerent Big Zulu rudely interjected Mkokstad, saying that he (Mkokstad) had brought professional soccer players to last year's tournament.
"So, yokinto imile, ime ngawe nje (everything is at a standstill because of you)."
A second video showed Big Zulu hurling insults at his counterpart.
"Uya loya lo. Ngengxa eyalo mfana lo. Hawu, akanabo ubuntu ... akanabo ubuntu kawayena. Hawu, seku ngama wonke umuntu ngengxa yokuthi uyadliwa? Hawu!"
