The father of late popular Mzansi rapper AKA, Tony Forbes opened up about his divorce from the rapper’s mom Lynn Forbes, on an episode of Within The Hazel podcast on Monday 5 February. He admitted that he was not the best husband.Tony explained that Lynn used to boost his confidence and inspire him.

“I was comfortable living in Greenside, it was a nice neighbourhood. Lynn was always someone that, I guess in a way inspired me and gave me confidence to do things. So, I started my own business and Lynn was the one that one Sunday said we moving to Houghton,” he said.However, he said they grew apart. The father of three also explained that Lynn’s love language was quality time and he was not spending time with her.

 

 

 
“With Lynn and I, after 20 years of marriage, I wasn’t the best husband, let me just put this out there first. I think her (Lynn) primary love language was spending time. In our relationship I think Lynn valued quality time. At the time I was not spending quality time with her… I was doing me,” he continued.

Two of the most loved South African musicians DJ Maphorisa and Prince Kaybee engaged in a heated twar after Maphorisa went live and explained how owning masters works. Kaybee accused Maphorisa of being unfair after Maphorisa shared that any song’s masters belonged to him if the song was made using his resources and equipment.The debate continued as the pair spewed insults and resorted to name calling. And now DJ Sbu has weighed in and seemingly agreed with Maphorisa’s sentiments.

His comments on the matter have left social media users convinced that he exploited late singer Zahara.Last week locals artists DJ Maphorisa and Prince Kaybee left X users highly entertained after they engaged in a big debate about music masters.

According to Maphorisa, the masters should belong to the person whose studio and equipment was used.

“When you record music on my computer, my studio, with my electricity. That sh*t is mine. It belongs to me”, he said.Responding to this, Kaybee argued that making music was a joint effort and that providing artists with food or lights should not mean he owned the masters.While social media users seemingly thought that Maphorisa was being a little greedy, DJ Sbu has come out to say that he is 100% correct.

In a new video, Sbu explains how paying for electricity and owning the studio would make Maphorisa the owner of the music.

He also advised musicians to discuss everything first.

Meanwhile, X users have now accused him of actually robbing late star Zahara who accused him of owing her millions.

“Not surprised that he will say this. It’s unfortunate that he took advantage of his artists because these conversations were not held back then,” one person said while another wrote:

Mzansi was in full force at Saturday’s star-studded Grammy weekend second annual African nominee brunch at Spring Place, in Beverly Hills, California, in the US.

Hosted by GUBA Enterprises and Rolling Stone Magazine with DJ Fredy Muks, the star-studded event honoured the African Grammy nominees for the 66th Grammy Awards, being held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.South African Grammy nominee Musa Keys arrived wearing a black leather ensemble with red trousers and oversized sunglasses, while Anele Mdoda wore a flowing green dress and will be accompanying bestie Trevor Noah during the Grammys.

TV personality Boity Thulo wore a floor-length African print dress by celebrity designer Thebe Magugu. “I’m here shooting some content for a project that I need to keep confidential,” she told“But I’m mainly here again this year to support our South African nominees at the Grammys. We had Zakes (Bantwini) and Nomcebo (Zikode) and Wouter (Kellerman) win last year which was fantastic, and this year African music is on a much bigger platform which is really amazing.”

Tholsi Pillay, business partner and manager of Grammy-award-winning flautist and producer Wouter Kellerman, has attended the Grammys 15 times and seen first-hand the meteoric rise in popularity and demand for African music over the years.

“We’re so proud of our South African nominees and all around the African continent. Wouter, Zakes and Nomcebo won the Grammy last year for Bayethe and they are excited for a possible South African victory again. Today I’ve seen so many artists and South Africans who I wouldn’t have normally run into at home, so Grammys weekend is a highlight on my calendar and worth flying in for.”

Arena Holdings’ Takunda Jinda, Zakes Bantwini’s business partner Sibo Mhlungu and Centurion-born singer-songwriter Stefan Benz were also in attendance.“I taught Katy Perry to say a line of Afrikaans on this last season of American Idol during my first audition,” said Benz. “I was super nervous, I walked up and when they said, ‘You’re going to Hollywood’, she asked me, ‘How do you say you’re going to Hollywood in Afrikaans’ so I taught her what to say and that kind of went viral. I’m back in the studio and I’m cheering on our South African and African nominees.”

Grammy nominees for this year’s brand-new category of Best African Music Performance are Tyla and Water; Davido’s Unavailable featuring Musa Keys; Asake and Olamide’s Amapiano; Burna Boy and City Boys, and Ayra Starr’s Rush.
