Busisiwe Twala, known by many as Cici, took to her social media to express her excitement after Thula, a song by DJ Zinhle that she is featured on, returned to music streaming platforms iTunes and Apple Music after it was taken off.
Released this year on July 7, the song had been doing very well on all music streaming platforms before its removal from the two platforms.
DJ Zinhle announced the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“I’m exhausted…. I don’t know why #Thula is not available on Apple Music & iTunes. We are figuring it out. Never had to fight so much for a song ay… It’s available on other platforms.”
Soon after, the song was returned to iTunes and Apple Music. An excited Cici shared a video of herself walking down a corridor with Thula playing in the background, captioning it:
“#SetUsFree On my way to tell you all that Thula is back on iTunes and Apple Music. I’ll tell you guys what happened later. But all I can say is artists go through a lot man?????So please make sure you stream and download our song. Officially available on digital platforms.”

Social media users were pleased to hear the news, commenting on the singer’s post.
One user who suspected that Cici’s former record label was responsible for the removal of the song on streaming platforms shared:
“I know Ambitiouz had something to do with the removal of the song from streaming platforms.”
To which Cici responded:
@phumlani_ngidi20 lemme thul ??
The user continued, adding:
“@ciciworldwide lol ? and they have a liver to post on their Facebook page that the sing is back on iTunes and YouTube.”
With Cici responding:
“@phumlani_ngidi20 ??? Abana choice (they have no choice). Buyisela intozabantu (but to return other people’s things).”
Another user shared:
“For two days I was depressed at the gym because I couldn’t listen to my song ? ???. That song is on top of my gym playlist when am running ?♀️ ??.”
