“Thank you to all the fans of #Jerusalema you have made my dream a reality, with attaining global hit song. My voice and lyrics have transcended globally, but I still await what is due to me.

“I have not been paid a cent by the label for #Jerusalema despite the song’s global success. I have been ridiculed, with efforts to marginalize my contribution.The continued love and support from the fans of #Jerusalema has been my strength and anchor during this tough time. I, as a female artist, can’t stay silent on this anymore, the matter is now with my lawyers,” she posted on Instagram.

In a series of tweets which he later deleted, Master KG rubbished Nomcebo’s claim stating that they had an agreement to split revenues from the song on a 50-50 basis. He, however, alleged that Nomcebo asked for 70%.

“The Agreement of Jerusalema is 50/50 between me and Nomcebo but wants 70% and I Must Get 30%,” he said.

He added that Nomcebo in 2020 embarked on a ‘Jerusalema’ tour without him, but when he has his own tour, Nomcebo changes the narrative and claims that Master KG has been sidelining him.

 “Last Year Nomcebo Started Jerusalema Tour Without Me And I Never Had a Problem And Few Weeks Back I Started My Tour And Then Nomcebo Went To The Media and Created a Story That I'm Leaving Her behind...I Don’t Really Know Why Things Must Be Like This,” Master KG posted.
