Disgruntled former dancer, Rush Mabanana, has unleashed a series of explosive accusations against award-winning Limpopo singer, Makhadzi, in a nasty fallout.
Rush Mabanana claimed he was mistreated and underpaid during his time working with the star. In a fiery rant on TikTok Live, Mabanana revealed that he was paid R10,000 less than his counterpart, Limpopo Boy, and accused Makhadzi of unfair treatment.
Mabanana’s fiery outburst comes after Makhadzi replaced her male dancers, including him, with female performers who now tour with her.
Former Dancer Rush Mabanana Attacks Makhadzi
Rush Mabanana didn’t hold back, saying he no longer cares about being judged.
“I was paid R10,000 less than Limpopo Boy. I don’t give a f*&$ how people take what I have to say, but the truth must come out,” he fumed during his broadcast.
He went on to accuse Makhadzi of putting him in harm’s way, claiming that he took the fall for her when they were almost arrested at the Botswana border.
“They almost arrested her at the Botswana border gates and I took the fall and asked they take me, but the way she treated me was terrible,” he added.
The former dancer, who claims he put in more effort on stage than Limpopo Boy, expressed his frustration over being paid less.
“I had more energy than Limpopo Boy but got paid less. I will expose her. What you started will not finish. I will make Makhadzi suffer.”
Rush Mabanana also accused Makhadzi of speaking ill of him, something he says he ignored for a long time.
“I kept quiet for a long time. I protected her and loved her like a sister, but she turned her back on me,” he told ZiMoja.
Despite their fallout, Mabanana insists he’s thriving, saying he has been touring overseas and is far from broke.
Response From The Ghanama Hitmaker’s Management
Meanwhile, Makhadzi’s management, represented by Lucky Tshilimandili, responded to the claims, acknowledging the difficulty of parting ways with someone who has worked closely with the singer:
“It’s not easy to part ways with someone you have worked with for a long time. There are two sides to every story. I don’t think Makhadzi should entertain threats, but when he is calm, maybe they can sit down and resolve their issues.
