Bathong, a lot is going on in the Amapiano industry! Recently, the award-winning DJ Lady Amar came forward and broke her silence about being paid what's due to her, two years later.

First, it was the 23-year-old Biri Marung hitmaker who made damning claims about DJ Maphorisa and how he operates and now, Ntando Duma's sister also claimed that she hadn't received any payment for her hit song, Hamba Juba.

This happened after the producer of the song, JL SA, decided to break his silence and rant about how frustrating and heartbreaking it has been for him to get paid for producing one of the industry's biggest songs.

On Tuesday, 23 September 2025, the controversial blogger and gossipmonger Musa Khawula posted a video of the 32-year-old star sharing her side of the story and also pleading with social media users to stop insulting her, as she is also in the same boat as JL SA.

"Hai, guys, I also didn't get paid for the hit song, I don't know even a cent. It has been two years since we released the song, and just like JL SA, I didn't receive any payment, and I haven't said anything because I am not a person to speak up like how JL did, but I had to because you guys are now insulting me. Please stop, I'm also a victim," Lady Amar said in the video.

"Okay, Lady Amar did not receive any payment. JL SA has not received any payment for the song. This leaves us with Murumba Pitch and Cici. They need to come forward; their silence means guilt phela."

@Billy_PMS commented:

"Wow, so they just go and make bangers without signing contracts…Nah, the music industry is something else."

@OfentseShezi responded:

"I heard young Stunna say the Royalties for their song Bopha only got paid this year. Bopha was released some years back…yhoo does it take that long bandla?"
