Social media has been abuzz following a fall out between music producer, Oscar Mbo, and award-winning artist, Makhadzi.
The BET award winner, Makhadzi born Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, has clarified that it wasn’t Oscar Mbo who removed her USB during her Macufe Festival performance at the weekend but one of his team members.
Makhadzi had taken to social media, complaining about the producer, podcaster and DJ, disrupting her performance.
Oscar Mbo, whose real name is Oscar Mbongeni Ndlovu, has rejected claims that Makhadzi was prematurely forced to leave the stage.
He says Makhadzi’s performance had actually eaten into his time.
However, Makhadzi is standing by her claims, saying the producer’s team sabotaged her.
She says she accused Oscar Mbo because she doesn’t know the name of his DJ who disrespected her team.
During a call between the two, Oscar accused Makhadzi of failing to communicate with him after she spoke to the promoter of the event, who they now blame for the miscommunication between them.
Makhadzi said that she had spoken to the promoter about the incident, and she thought the issue was sorted.
βThe common denominator is the event promoter; that is why I said let us get them to issue out a statement regarding the incident,β Oscar Mbo explained.
Social media users are wading in on the spat, with some saying Makhadzi likes playing the victim.
They based their assertions on her recent rant about people not buying tickets for her upcoming gig at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
What you are saying is totally out. What was he suppose to do when his time to perform had arrived and what if he had another gig?,Makhadzi arrived late and it seems she was slot in and extended to Oscar Mbo’s time and he must perform also…π€·ββοΈ

Some, however, believe that Oscar Mbo is also not an innocent party in this saga.
Shebe you are on point Oscar Mbo is an artist he must not behave like an event organiser, Time and other logistics belong to the host not artist with super egos

Some have defended both artists.
What if he is innocent guys, we saw the slot, but Makhadzi was wrong and they must use their time not other artists time ,oscar mbo he did better ,he did what he was supposed to do ,why limpopo artists, this always happen to them ,it means it’s not coincidence they use people’s

Hmmm I donβt think it was malice intent from Oscar or his dj or manager or whoever I think it was just a matter of time. Ngapha makhadzi couldβve dmβd or called Oscar no need to put him on blast. All this feels like a misunderstanding qha

This is not the first time Oscar Mbo is mired in controversy. A few weeks ago, he was accused of removing Limpopo rising star, Kharishma, during her performance at the Blouberg Spring Annual Festival.
He has, however, apologised for that incident.
