Slenda Vocals & Record L Jones vs. DJ Jaivane: Their viral collab hit 7M+ Spotify streams… but zero payment? Lesego breaks down the allegations, Jaivane’s "awkward payment tour," and Record L’s legal threats. 💸
Smaki 08’s Credit Erasure: Producer claims he crafted 14 tracks for Jaivane’s album – but the label slashed his credits to avoid "looking producer-heavy." Fans caught the receipts! 📉
DJ Jaivane’s "Onkgopotse": Can his 25-track "redemption arc" (feat. Kabza De Small, Wesley Keys) survive the backlash?
Mariah the Scientist & Kali Uchis’ Projects: Industry curveballs or pure fire? Lesego’s takes inside.
