According to MDN News on X, Black Major asserts Madjozi received a hefty R5 million advance post-Epic deal, entitling them to 20% under their contract.

Mzansi weighs in on the legal drama

Social media buzzed with diverse takes. @Miz_Ruraltarain said:

"Sho Madjozi is doing justice for many artists that these record companies rip off. Hands off Sho Madjozi."

@StarJay_23 wrote:

"That's a lot of money. Did they do credit checks and affordability assessments, or they just assumed they would get money?"

@Iebzzza marvelled at the complicated scenario, stating:

"Had it been a loan, I wouldve said reckless lending. Manje bona they kept offering her management services through out those years without her paying a cent. Did they really think she could afford their service? Very reckless."

@KgomotsoLo3779 added:

"Phela she gave birth and has moved on. What a bitter ex!"

@Notoriousfirst asked:

"Does she have R5 million?

@Mab0710 an unconventional opinion:

"At least for once, it is a record company crying about being scammed not an artist. I hope artists could learn on how to deal with these thugs from Madjozi."
