South African award-winning musician Master KG has taken to social media to express his frustration with Open Mic Productions highlighting ongoing issues that have yet to be resolved.
The Jerusalema hitmaker didn’t mince his words in his recent tweets.
Taking to X (formally known as Twitter), Master KG wrote, “Open mic Productions is one of the most Selfish people to have ever work with I’m not a fan of talking stuff on social media but this thing is being going on for too long now,” he wrote.
While specifics regarding the nature of the issues were not disclosed, Master KG is not the only celebrity to air grievances against the label.
Singer Nomcebo, who features him on their hit song Jerusalema which became the highest-earning gold status song in Mzansi, has been in a lengthy legal battle with the record label.
In July 2021 the Grammy award-winning singer said she had not been paid royalties for her hit song Jerusalema or her project Xola Moya Wam and would fight for what is hers.
Makhadzi explored ways with her legal team to cut ties with a record label.
In early May 2023, the Limpopo singer announced her departure from Open Mic, saying she was not renewing her contract and planned to focus on her company and other business ventures.

Who is behind Open Mic? I’m not gonna lie they had a winning formula for a long time – yourself, King Monada, Makhadzi, etc. They should reconsider their dealings and agreements otherwise, they have produce big names in the game.
