The Truth Behind Makhadzi’s Departure from Open Mic
Makhadzi signed a three-year deal with Open Mic, during which she dropped four albums, some of which reached platinum status.

This wasn’t the first time Makhadzi had experienced such treatment. However, the public seemed less than sympathetic towards her plight, given her wealth. Instead, they suggested that she should have sought legal help instead of asking for public sympathy yet again.
