Khanya Nqolase claimed she never received a cent

Khanya Nqolase was a guest on The L-Tido podcast where she told the rapper that she never received payment when she was part of The Ultimatum: SA. She told the podcaster:

"I wish I got money for that. I don't know if royalties apply to reality TV. I think talent is being exploited in this country. There was no actual formal payment. We had to buy our own food from the payment."
