Briefly News previously reported that Mphoza demands R60K from Monada as he did not pitch for his events two times.

"What this guy did to me broke my heart as my reputation as an organiser was tainted by his unprofessionalism," the publication quoted Mphoza, who added that they are not enemies.

Monada served with a letter of demand

This booking fee battle dates back to 2022 when Monada did not perform at the awards ceremony. The two agreed that he would perform again in 2023 but he was a no-show.

His lawyers contacted Monada's legal team and stated that he demanded R60,000 back from Monada despite paying him R35,000. The additional fees of R15,000 are for legal fees and R10,000 for "pain and suffering".
