@Riccardo_Elle said:
"Zahara keeps on saying DJ Sbu owes her a lot of money and I don't think that's the truth. What happened is that DJ Sbu exploited her via contractual agreements, she didn't know any better and she was a 'nobody' when they met and he took advantage of that."
@TablecharmG commented:
"DJ Sbu out here telling us to pusha phanda that time he's living lavish ka chelete ya Loliwe. No, they must Pay Zahara her money, all of it."

"I don't even think she owns the masters."
@ChatWithNelo added:
"Zahara, just put out new music & start living again. Your name is big & so is your talent. What they did to you was your "school fees". I'd like to think you've learned a lot about the industry since then, & that you won't make the same mistakes. Also, leave the bottle, lala."
