Makhadzi reportedly rejects R150 000 from the organisers of Phalaphala Royal Heritage Festival.
The award-winning musician is a loyal talent to the fest as she performs there annually, but this year appears to be different.
Numerous rumors and reports have circulated about Makhadzi rejecting the money, but she has turned to social media to clarify the situation.
“I am not going to Phalaphala Royal Heritage; they say they don’t have a budget. I am setting the record straight so that my fans and followers shouldn’t say I intentionally refused to be there or I am becoming big-headed,’ she wrote.
“I realised that there were already false rumours spreading about my name in this regard. I’m still Makhadzi of the nation under the motto; no pay, no job, and vice versa,’ she said.
“As someone who’s organising my upcoming one-woman show at Peter Mokaba Stadium on 21 December, I really get on good terms with the fact that organisers aren’t compelled to book an artist without a proper budget to do such,” she added.
Makhadzi will be hosting her One Woman Show on the same day with the fest. The show will hold in December and tickets are almost sold out.
