South African YouTuber Lasizwe Dambuza is said to be in the middle of a sibling rivalry with his once-close brother, Lungile Mcunu.
News about the alleged quarrel was spread by Twitter (X) user @qhamadlula_, who alleged that the fight was over money.
According to the online user, Lungile was demanding his share for his contribution to Lasizwe's Awkward Dates series, a staggering R1 million.
Lungile appeared in an episode with Pearl Thusi on 23 July 2024, and it generated over 704k views.
"Lungile wants to be paid a million plus for his episode of Awkward Date, which made over R2 million plus in revenue. My tomato sauce says Lungile was paid R100k odd rands. Now the brothers don't get along."
Responding to the allegations in a leaked Instagram close friends post, Lasizwe debunked the royalties claims and shared the real reason behind the feud:
"I no longer want to be affiliated with the family taxi business, and that's hurting him because he's so invested in carrying the family legacy."

According to Lasizwe, he is not interested in the taxi business anymore and would rather pursue what works for him: social media and entertainment.
The business was inherited from their late father, Menzi Mchunu, who was a taxi owner.
Lasizwe stated that by focusing on his own path, which brings him happiness, he wishes Lungile would respect his decision.
