The publication reports that the former Mrs Morake was served with a cease and desist after publishing "defamatory statements" about her ex-hubby, claiming he was an abuser.

Moreover, Samuels alleged that her ex was a fraudster who swindled the South African Revenue Services (SARS). This comes at the height of their fight over a multi-million-rand grand piano, which Lebo accused Samuels of stealing.

Responding to the allegations, the Lion King maestro refuted the claims and, in a letter of demand from his lawyers dated 6 April 2025, instructed Samuels to retract the statements and apologise - an order she reportedly ignored.

An excerpt from his court order read:

“I am not an abuser, nor am I involved in any tax fraud activities. I am a person with integrity and am honest in my conduct.
"As a public figure well known internationally, the offending statement was made to defame, injure, and damage my reputation. My reputation and good name form an integral part of my dignity and my business.
"I allowed the first respondent to retract and apologise. She failed to do so within the requested time."
