EP 167: Royalty Wars, "Onkgopotse" Drama & Japan’s Quake – Lesego M Pulls NO Punches
In this raw Backroom Convo's episode, Lesego M storms the mic to unpack SA’s biggest music industry scandals – where unpaid streams, shady credits, and natural disasters collide. Strap in for unfiltered truths:

• 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.

• When the earth shakes: Lesego reflects on Japan’s tsunami & earthquake – and why global solidarity > streams.
