JOHANNESBURG- THINGS have finally come to a head in the once-rumoured and now confirmed beef between Master KG and Nomcebo Zikode.
Master KG and Nomcebo Zikode are trending on social media after they got involved in a public spat over their hit song Jerusalema.
The Jerusalema hitmakers seem to be at loggerheads over payment for the song that has become a global sensation.
Taking to social media, Nomcebo Zikode released a statement claiming that she was never paid for the song.

The vocalist said that she was tired of keeping quiet and would let the courts handle the matter.
According to Zikode, she was not paid a cent of the profits from the song that led to a viral dance challenge.
Master KG has however, disputed this claim and countered by saying that Zikode was demanding a higher percentage than what was initially agreed.
He said that the initial agreement was 50/50, however Nomcebo went on to change her mind and ask for 70% while Master KG got 30%.
