The muso recently made headlines after he was called out for being rude to other artists, particularly Limpopo stars.

"I’m a humble guy, I respect people and there’s a lot of confusion. It’s normal how people process things. People support who they want and attend to facts later but truth always prevails.

On one occasion, Makhadzi accused him of trying to sabotage her performance at the Bloemfontein Macufe Festival.

Then, singer Karishma also accused him of pulling the same stunt.

"Event organisers gather us under one roof to trade. They control the shows, time slots, and overall operations. Therefore, their input would help clarify many show-related issues, preventing artists from fighting."

In a previous report from Briefly News, Bafana Bafana legend Doctor Khumalo stunned fans after showing off his R800 000 Mercedes-Benz CLS. This was done during a meeting with Oscar Mbo.
