In several Twitter (X) posts, Samthing Soweto vented about his experience of being exploited by industry bigwigs, further claiming that he was never given masters to his debut album, Isphithiphithi.

In response to the posts, Porry retired his famous Instagram livestream and called Samthing out on X. He said the singer was trying to be slick and wanted to own all the masters without splitting with his fellow collaborators:

"Why do you want to own all the masters? Do we work for you now? Send an invoice so we can pay you for Amantombazane and Emcimbini and end it there. We're not kids.

"We can even give you your money back and own your masters, and if it goes there, you're gonna lose; don't try to be clever. You didn't want the song [Amalanga Awafani] out because you wanted to sabotage us. Now that people know your character, you're heating up."
