After a misunderstanding that resulted in the Zimbabwean-born artist taking to social media to vent about not being appreciated for his work, producer and singer Mr. Brown and Open Mic have smoked a peace pipe.
UNGRATEFUL
On his social media accounts, the Tsoko Tsoko and Uthando Uzongibulala hitmaker accused the company of being ungrateful for all of the hits he has produced for one of their award-winning singers, Makhadzi. Brown, whose real name is Lynol Siwela and he is 31 years old, is from the Zimbabwean village of Gweru. On Tuesday, he posted a few Facebook posts complaining about how Open Mic was exploiting him. I’m sick and tired of people treating me like a slave and getting paid nothing in the end.” He wrote in another post, ” They want to control you so that you will be dependent on them, which is why you are not paid well. Take charge of your own destiny. The post was later taken down the next day.
ZiMoja heard Brown confirm the allegations. He acknowledged that he did have a disagreement with Open Mic on Tuesday, but he declined to elaborate on the circumstances surrounding it. I can confirm that due to additional issues that we were able to resolve, there was a miscommunication between Open Mic and me. He stated, “It wasn’t a big deal; it was just a miscommunication between an employer and employee.”
Misunderstanding According to a trustworthy source who is intimately familiar with the situation, Mr. Brown was extremely enraged on Tuesday and was ready to quit everything and start his own business, according to ZiMoja. The business and Mr. Brown misunderstood each other. Given that he has produced three albums for Makhadzi, an award-winning artist, he was enraged at them for not taking his work seriously. At Open Mic, Makhadzi is also the artist with the most bookings and the most sales. Mr. Brown saved Makhadzi’s career when they clashed with Master KG and Prince Benza, and that’s all thanks to him.
A GOOD COMBINATION
“For the past three years, Mr. Brown has been producing hits for her, and an artist will suffer when a producer feels taken lightly. After realizing their error, the company worked things out with him. He quickly removed all of his negative posts as a result. He was angry and venting simultaneously. Mr. Brown is currently the only person who comprehends Makhadzi’s musical style and what is required to accommodate her genre, so it was going to be bad. She also likes to work with Mr. Brown, and it’s true that their combination is very dangerous because they keep hitting each other,” the source said.
When asked for clarification, Open Mic boss Lionel Jamela responded, ” My brother, I have no idea what you’re talking about. While I was with him this morning, neither he nor I expressed any ill-will or miscommunication. I’m not aware of it. He stated, “I am unaware of such.”
