Makhadzi explains decision not to attend show

Her fans were very dissatisfied that she would not be attending the show. The BET Award-winning star stated that they failed to reach an agreement with her booking fees.

On social media, Makhadzi wrote, "I am not going to Phalaphala Royal Heritage; they say they don't have a budget. I am setting the record straight so that my fans and followers shouldn't say I intentionally refused to be there or I am becoming big-headed."

According to ZiMoja, Makhadzi refused the R150,000 offer. "If she feels she cannot accept the R150k they offered her, then they need to respect that," the publication quoted a source as saying.

Makhadzi also cleared her name from false rumours of her being a constant no-show.

"I realised that there were already false rumours spreading about my name in this regard. I'm still Makhadzi of the nation under the motto: no pay, no job, and vice versa."
