[@after-lifeadvice7067]

Khuluma phela right here , it takes 2 mins to give someone a clue . Problem is sometimes it hurts to get Hoodwinked by folks you were star struck upon meeting the OGs and you feel like you need to recover from bringing in your own up and coming boys .

[@vernacapatia726]

You live and you learn.

[@siyabongaeugenemalaza4480]

[@itswhitebloodmusic7576]

[@siboniso4420]

Homie is right. There's a certain DJ who is known to steal songs from Pmb and Durban bedroom producers...I know guys who hide their laptops when he is around.

Makwa biza omnye wabo ndizo kwenza umzekelo ngaye.

[@YLMSTUNNA]

This nigga Makwa produced "I am free?!" 😭

[@xxyyxx9791]

Makwa should check out the concept of Deferred Fees and get the BEST lawyers. Typically the top of the crop will agree whereas the bottom feeders will say "That doesn't exist" hence it's important to be talking to the best lawyers in the country, the firm that makes you feel uncomfortable because you feel like "They're not in my league"

[@xxyyxx9791]

I can't emphasize the following point enough IF THE PERSON REFUSES TO WORK WITH YOU ON A DEFERRED FEE BASIS THEN THEY'RE TOO SMALL SO AIM HIGHER

[@kgatokanyane5179]

Yho these guys r high lmao
