Nothende said listening to the song became unbearable because despite never being paid and having her own song removed from radio, I Wanna Love You was getting airplay while she was blackballed.

She told ZiMoja that she has moved on and, after the release of her new album, The Interlude, said she never left music, saying it was a calling that you can't escape:

"I never left or stopped making music. I just hadn't released anything in a long time."

Mzansi reacts to Nothende's comeback

While fans celebrated Nothende's return, others have not forgotten the exploitation scandal and demanded to know if she was ever paid:

tshepo87 said:

"It’s actually quite crazy that artists see nothing wrong with exploiting one another. It’s not like his career has ever been one of success, but to deny Nothende that which is rightfully hers was always foul.

AndaSobs asked:

"Did she ever get her money from the yellow bone?

tshepo87 wrote:

"Lulo Cafe will always be a horrible person."

BathongRay reacted:

"Lulo Cafe will rot in hell for what he did to her."
