Dogg DBN lands in trouble after seeking funds for his late friend Mampintsha’s son, Sponge Wodumo.
Dogg released an official statement directed at the South African government.
The artist slammed the government for spending much on the burial of the West Ink boss without planning for his son.
“Our province and city failed Mampintsha like all other artists. What is the purpose of having an expensive funeral when Mampintsha has a kid that needs to go to good schools and needs to live a comfortable life?”
He also criticised the government for not helping Mandla with his music career when he was alive.
Dogg DBN took down the statement on social media afer trolls dragged him over the entitlement.

Reactions be like:
“When are artists going to be viewed as normal working people kanti… I mean we are all hustling njena umehluko asikho kwi-tv or radio.”
“Lo muntu ubupheza day in and day out. Uhlulwe yini ukthatha i life policy? We love our KZN artists but they (and their families) cannot be the rate payers responsibility. The funeral was all we are prepared to do.”
“Kanthe Artists think their Money is For LV’s and Gucci nice cars nd Balling…. Their family well off is their responsibility not ours just like any other South African… angas Nyeli thina.”
“This person was talking nonsense, artists at their peak earn way above the average South African, they should never pretend like they never had a chance to do right by their families.”
