She accused him of failing to pay R1,000 for child support per month. Ntencane and Nombuso Gcabashe have a four-year-old daughter together. She accused him of being drunk with fame and failing to raise their daughter,
He is using fame to take advantage of naive girls. He can't keep his zip closed. I am not scared of him. I can't be chasing a man who makes money to pay a mere R1000 for his child but is always out entertaining different girls and friends.
Diss tracks
The drama escalated when Ntencane dropped Dear Mawomtanami on 2 November 2024. The track allegedly addresses Nombuso Gcabashe, the mother of his daughter. He makes it clear to her that their relationship is over.
Nearly two weeks later, Nombuso Gcabashe dropped a response diss track Dear Baba Womntana. In the song, Miss Level accuses Ntencane of dismissing her during pregnancy and being an absent father.
She had previously accused Ntencane of introducing their daughter to different girlfriends. Ntencane later denied that Dear Mawomtanami was about Miss Levels.
Rejection of child support and protection orders
Ntencane and Nombuso Gcabashe's feud got so bad that the two ex-lovers sought protection orders from each other. In November 2024, Ms Levels did an affidavit rejecting child support from Ntencane.
She told Sunday Times,
I’ve been raising this child without his support and now I don’t want anything to do with him. And I even wrote an affidavit stating clearly that I don’t want him to maintain this child. I’m rejecting child support because I’ve been doing it all by myself
Miss Levels said she was the first to seek protection against Ntencane,
I’m the one who approached the family court and applied for a protection order against him. He and his current girlfriend also applied for protection orders against me. They claim that I’m harassing them, but I’m not.
Ntencane confirmed that he was not allowed to see his child,
My girlfriend and myself have protection orders against her. One of the conditions is that she must not mention my name on social media or anywhere because she has a tendency of insulting me and my girlfriend.
But she hasn’t stopped. She still insults me and my current girlfriend whenever she feels like it. I should’ve approached the court so she could be arrested. But I cannot do that because she’s my baby mama and she looks after my child.
He swore to continue fighting to provide child support via the courts,
I’ve been maintaining my child, and I have slips to prove it. At some point I bought Christmas clothes for the child, but she returned them. She said she cannot take second-hand clothes. Now I’m going to approach the court and maintain the child through the court. I’ll decide how much I want to pay. And she can decide to collect the money or leave it there.
