Lwah Ndlunkulu drama clouds the celebration

The gift arrived at a particularly loaded moment. Podcast and Chill had just reported that Lwah Ndlunkulu, a signee at Big Zulu's Inkabi Records, was unhappy at the label and was looking for a platform to address her situation. Central to her frustrations, according to the report, is Khoza himself, with the podcast stating: "She wanted to leave, and Leroy is telling everyone around the industry that she is not well." Ndlunkulu reportedly wants to counter what she describes as a damaging narrative being spread about her.

With all of that playing out publicly, the sight of Khoza and Big Zulu celebrating together with a six-figure bottle of brandy did not go unnoticed.

Peeps react to the R150k gift

Reactions to the video ranged from disbelief to outright scepticism, with one commenter even questioning whether the price tag was accurate:
