Are the charges linked to Mayibabo royalties?

Nota posted this shortly after music producer Makwa accused him of exploitation regarding Mayibabo royalties.

This was ignited by claims made by former Rhythm City actress Itu Bokaba, who revealed that she provided vocals on the hit song and was paid a mere R0,59 by the South African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO).

It revealed that when she queried this, Nota told her that the money was given to DJ Maphorisa. Makwa took to X to say Nota should answer, saying, "Maphorisa is not responsible for this mess up. Nota is. He did the splits behind our backs."
