What started as a landmark Amapiano collaboration has now escalated into a drawn-out legal dispute between Kelvin Momo and record label boss Kabza de Small over alleged breaches of a recording agreement linked to Momos Private School.
When Kelvin Momo real name Thato Ledwaba and Babalwa M Babalwa Mavuso released the project six years ago, the collaboration was widely seen as a defining moment in their rise within the Amapiano scene. However, that same project has since become central to a legal fight now before the Johannesburg high court.
The case, which has been going on for nearly two years, stems from allegations by Ledwaba that Kabza de Small real name Kabelo Motha and his company Piano Hub failed to honour key obligations under their recording agreement, particularly around royalties, artist development and promotion.
