Reports have it that her time slot was changed, and she saw herself performingIn a now-viral video, the star was reportedly paid half a million for her appearance at the event, only to perform for at least 40 minutes. However, she only managed to sing for 10 minutes. She has it that she was sabotaged.

Despite being booked for an hour set, she saw her slot repeatedly changed to her disadvantage. The adjustment later resulted in a mere ten-minute window to showcase her talent.

The management reportedly caused Makhadzi’s woes after they allowed Zimbabwean dancehall sensation Winky to perform for more than an hour.

Makhadzi made a startling allegation, asserting that the promoter had exploited her and Jah Prayzah’s names to sell tickets for the event. The Queen of Africa made it known they were deliberately deprived of the time they deserved on stage.She was forced to perform for at least 10 minutes since she had to share the remaining 40 minutes with Jah Prayzah. Makhadzi made it known that the sabotage was a plot to tarnish her brand and reputation.

Expressing her heartfelt apologies to her loyal Zimbabwean fanbase, Makhadzi made it known that the situation was beyond her control.

Pretty Samuels-Morake served her estranged husband Lebo M with a protection order earlier this week.According to TshisaLIVE, this prompted the Grammy award-winning producer – real name Lebohang Morake – to instruct his lawyers to deliver the divorce summons to the sheriff for personal service to Samuels after she confirmed she would personally pick up the documents at the Midrand sheriff’s office.

“I’m exercising my legal rights as a wife … I stand by my statements. As a legal wife, I have my rights. If there’s anything illegal, the estates wouldn’t have opened up for the South African Police Service to enter the property and deliver what they have to deliver.

“I had to be escorted by policemen because I do not have access to the property and the police had to deliver documents. I was delivering a protection order. As a citizen, as a wife, as a spouse, I have legal rights. And those legal rights allow me to do that,” Samuels told the publication.The couple was only married for 18 months before their messy separation. According to a statement by the producer earlier this week, he claimed to have found muthi “tucked away” in Samuels’ closet.

“We were packing her stuff very nicely so that when she is ready to come collect her belongings she can pick them up,” Lebo M saidThe Lion King composer, earlier this month, claimed that he was calling off their wedding because Samuels refused to sign an affidavid confirming that she had not opened any life cover policies in his name.

Social media has been awash with unconfirmed reports that American talk show host Steve Harvey is divorcing his wife Marjorie. According to several accounts on X, Marjorie cheated on her famous husband with his bodyguard and personal chef, but these are just unsubstantiated claims at this point If you believe what the internet is saying, Marjorie is also going for half of Steve’s $400 million fortune as part of her divorce settlement.

While all indications point to this being a fake news story concocted by those who have way too much time on their hands, we’ll have to wait for at least one of the parties to either confirm or deny it. To add to the lack of credibility of the divorce claims, none of the major publications have picked up the story, which would certainly be worth reporting.

The couple has been married for 16 years, but had initially met in years before Harvey’s rise to stardom as a comic. According to reports, Steve met his wife in 1990 when he was still a struggling comedian and dated briefly. At the time, he had apparently felt he wasn’t in a good financial position to take care of Marjorie.

They married in 2007, two years after Steve ended his second marriage. The radio host has seven children (four biological children and three stepchildren). When the couple got married, he adopted Marjorie’s children.
