According to ZiMoja, the rapper/ actor was slated for a lead role on the popular soapie, having signed a contract and rehearsed for days on end - only for things to change at the eleventh hour.

The role was later handed to Nkanyiso Mchunu. Zuluboy is said to have taken the matter to the Arbitration Foundation of South Africa, feeling disrespected and undermined.

This wouldn't be the first time a creative took Rhythm World Productions to court. Briefly News reported Zithulele Khwela's legal battle against the production, which later ended in his favour.

"Thank God he didn't get the part."

MbazimaThomason alleged:

"Allegedly, this guy is hard to work with, if I was to go deep on the type of person he is. He could lose a lot for the sake of his job and reputation. I will stop here."

Nkulunkulukazi said:

"They probably weren't happy with his acting skills mos, so why the drama?"

Aya71595028 claimed:

"It more likely has to do with his new political affiliation. It would be interesting to know when the contract was signed, versus when things changed in relation to his new role at MK."
