In the wake of Zahara’s death, real name Bulelwa Mkutukana, a video clip from her interview on MacG’s Podcast & Chill revealing how much TS Records allegedly paid her has surfaced on social media. The Loliwe hitmaker disclosed that she had to beg just so she could get paid her money from her gigs.
Zahara was once signed under TS Records, the record label linked to ANC politician Thembinkosi ‘TK’ Nciza and business entrepreneur Sibusiso Leope, also known as DJ Sbu. However, she later left the record label and had a public fallout with TK Nciza and Dj Sbu as she accused them of exploiting her. For years, Zahara demanded her money from Dj Sbu and TK Nciza as she accused TS Records of shortchanging her.
