Lebo M gets candid about Robert Marawa beef
The composer appeared as the celebrity guest on the Podcast and Chill episode that premiered on MacG’s YouTube channel on Thursday, 23 April 2026.
He revealed that the beef started after Marawa took a swipe at him in his memoir, titled Gqimm Shelele: The Robert Marawa Story.
“There's no way I would have said anything had Robert Marawa not said some bs about me in his biography. He opened a flood,” Lebo M alleged.
He claimed that in the memoir, Robert Marawa accused him and Zoe Mthiyane of trying to extort R30,000 from him.
“If I drop dead, and I don't address this, my daughter is going to be humiliated by your son, thinking that I Lebo M, tried to extort 30 grand. So, I have to address this thing,” he added.
Lebo M claimed that he provided for Marawa's son until Zoe Mthiyane sued him for maintenance. He said, despite his fame and money, Marawa was a deadbeat dad until Mthiyane took him to court.
An irate Lebo M insulted Robert Marawa and asked him to put some respect on his name. He looked straight at the camera and used vulgar language to insult the Marawa Sports Worldwide presenter.
“You will respect my child's future. You will respect your son's future. You will correct this nonsense, punk ahh,” Lebo M said.
