Master KG has responded to Ntsiki Mazwai’s suggestion about ownership of his hit song, “Jerusalema”.
The “Superstar” hitmaker responded to the controversial poet and questioned his motives behind the suggestion.
Ntsiki caused chaos in the streets of Twitter over the weekend when he suggested that Nomcebo Zikode should be paid the same as Master KG for the song.
The poet reasoned that because Nomcebo wrote the lyrics and provided the voice for the worldwide hit, she “deserved 50% ownership of the song.
Ntsiki believes that if the split was impossible, Nomcebo should be paid as a session artist, at the very least.
“Master KG did the beat. Nomcebo did the voices. That is a 50/50 split. I hope Master KG will pay him for the session as it is just his song, ”he said.
While many tweeps joined in to support her point of view, others criticized her for being unreasonable and getting into things that they said had nothing to do with her. People questioned their knowledge of music and what it meant for an artist to appear in a song, as is the case with Master KG and Nomcebo in Jerusalem.
Master KG also found Ntsiki’s remarks strange, considering that she had never expressed similar sentiments about popular songs in which producers or DJs featured female vocalists.
“There are so many songs in this world where people appear and I never saw you or anyone saying this. Or is there something behind what you say? Anyway, bless my sister. A love, ”he replied.
Yours So many songs in this world Where people are outstanding I never saw you or anyone saying this … Or is there something behind what you say … Anyway Bless my sister a love https: // t .co / aInPW7dK4u

Last month, Master KG made history as the first South African artist to reach 100 million views on YouTube with “Jerusalema.”
“Jerusalema” has garnered 100 million views on YouTube and Mzansi is celebrating the success of the local song that has taken the world by storm.
The track which is produced by Limpopo-born musician and record producer, with local vocalist Nomcebo Zikode, has managed to transcend national borders and officially become an international hit.
In President Cyril Ramaphosa’s most recent address to the nation, he called on South Africans to perform the “Jerusalem Dance Challenge” on Heritage Day. With many South Africans leading his call and posting their videos on social media.
