Singer and songwriter Samkelo Lelethu Mdolomba, popularly known as Samthing Soweto seems to have been robbed of credit in a new song.
The musician known for his angelic voice and hit singles has not been given his flowers for a newly released song titled, Amalanga Awafani featuring Mas Musiq, Lawd Weezy, DJ Maphorisa and StarQuality.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) he posted a broken heart emoji causing many internet users to call for people to boycott this song, given that his voice was on it.
This would not be the first time a musician has expressed how the music industry has exploited them, as it was recently reported that the amapiano artist Sir Trill, exposed a certain alleged ‘grootman’ for not allowing him to release his music with certain artists.
