Intaba Yase Dubai apologises to Big Zulu years after accusing him of exploitation.
In 2022, Intaba Yase Dubai, real name Lindokuhle Msomi from Maphumulo in KwaZulu Natal said Big Zulu’s label, Inkabi Records exploited him as he was not paid a cent despite co-writing the hit song titled Imali Eningi.
“Imali Eningi has reached over 12 million streams but I’m broke. Never got even R1. It’s so painful to work hard, only to become broke and watch other people benefit from your hard work. You have to act like we are all okay while only one individual is. F**k features!!” he wrote on social media.
Intaba penned a lengthy note to apologise to the music star and set the record straight about the accusation.
“I would like to apologise to anyone that I had a beef with. It wasn’t my intention to fight with people or use vulgar language. I’m not proud of what I did and my past experiences have taught me that I cannot walk alone. Every person needs that one person to grow. I’m sorry to anyone that I hurt,” he said.
“I don’t have any issues with him. He never stole a cent from me or robbed me of any money. The only person who robbed me of my money was the person who accepted it from him but never gave it to me,” he said referring to his former boss at Ambitiouz, Kgosi Mahumapelo.
“Big Zulu had good intentions and I took out my frustrations on him. I regret ever signing a recording deal, I should have stayed at home and released music without any recording deal. Please stop going around speaking ill of Big Zulu. It’s time to let bygones be bygones,” he said.
