9DJ Sbu’s appearance sparks social media buzz amidst renewed royalty allegations after Zahara’s passing.

In recent weeks, the spotlight has once again fallen on Mofaya founder DJ Sbu, with social media ablaze over his unconventional appearance and its potential ties to unresolved royalty allegations involving the late singer Zahara and former co-executive TK Nciza.A viral image circulating on social media captured DJ Sbu in a disheveled poncho and untidy dreadlocks during an episode of his podcast, “Hustler’s Corner,” featuring an interview with podcasters MacG and Sol. The Twitterati wasted no time in launching a trolling spree, drawing comparisons between DJ Sbu and American rappers Jay Z and J Cole. Speculation also arose about a possible connection between Zahara’s ancestors and DJ Sbu’s appearance, fueling rumors of a link to the ongoing feud with the “Loliwe” hitmaker.

 

 

The longstanding discord between Zahara and DJ Sbu dates back years, originating from Zahara’s accusations of exploitation against DJ Sbu and TK Nciza, her record label executives at TS Records. Zahara claimed she never received royalties for her highly successful debut album, “Loliwe.”

Despite DJ Sbu’s denial of these claims on Twitter in July of the previous year, asserting that Zahara’s money had always reached her, Zahara countered, accusing him of spreading falsehoods. She claimed her music was being sold on digital platforms without her knowledge, intensifying the public dispute.

Zahara’s recent passing has brought a new wave of attention to the longstanding feud. DJ Sbu took to his social media pages to share memories of their collaborations and award wins, attempting to set the record straight during an interview on Cooking365. He denied the accusations and expressed grief over Zahara’s untimely death, addressing the ongoing public scrutiny by saying, “People might be mad and might want to find somebody to blame. A lot of people are saying I’m to blame. Though I am not, having worked in the public eye for so long I understand. It’s OK, let’s be angry, let’s be sad. Let’s mourn.”

Despite facing criticism, DJ Sbu reaffirmed his commitment to weathering the storm and ensuring fairness. During the interview, he reflected on his journey, stating, “I built myself from nothing, I’ve never sought an opportunity to benefit from someone or try to take somebody else’s money. When I met Zahara, I was already rich; I could never take a single cent of Zahara’s money.”

As the social media saga continues, the complex history between DJ Sbu and Zahara adds layers to the ongoing narrative, intertwining personal reflections, allegations, and the impact of Zahara’s untimely demise on the public perception of their tumultuous relationship.
