Disgraced rapper Molemo 'Jub Jub' Maaronhanye is set to release a tell-all book that will give the nation an intimate look into his life before the fatal 2010 accident, life behind bars and the man behind the headlines.

Shortly after his first live television interview on SABC 2's Morning Live on Thursday morning, Jub Jub headed to the Metro FM studios where he appeared on Bonang Matheba's show.

The rapper struggled to hold back his emotions as he detailed his past, present and future.

During the interview Jub Jub revealed that while he was in prison he spent a lot of time writing music and started working on his book, which he described as a "tell-all".

The rapper also revealed that he also hoped to make a movie out of his life story.

"I don't really like sharing my plans, but since you have asked, I had a lot of time to write and I have a book coming out," he told Bonang.

While Jub Jub was coy to reveal too much details about his time in prison and his deepest feelings, he assured the nation that it would all be in his book.

"There are some things that I don't like talking about but everything that they wanna know they will find in the book and the movie," he said.

The rapper preferred not to reveal the date his book would launch but rather ensured listeners that the music was ready to go out. Bonang went on to play a new song by the rapper titled Bataung.
