South Africans were left confused on Friday when major artists including A-Reece, Fifi Cooper and B3nchmarq left Ambitious Entertainment. What followed ranges from corruption allegations to buying awards and much more.

Twitter erupted with questions after A-Reece, Fifi Cooper and B3nchmarq almost simultaneously took to social media to announce that they were cutting ties with the record label. Did opposition stable Mabala Noise poach them? Or was management stealing their money? Twitter detectives were out for answers!

  • Even Somizi questioned Bonang and AKA's 'split'As tweeps spent the weekend calling bs on AKA and Bonang Matheba's 'split' even B's former bestie thought it could be a stunt. 

It wasn't long until some "files" surfaced on the matter, and even though some of the reasons behind the drama seemed like speculation, light was shed on a few issues.

A publicist who seemed to have inside knowledge about the saga made damning allegations about the label. In a series of tweets Gasto Seremula accused Ambitiouz of unfair treatment, buying awards and corruption.

DAMN!

Ambitiouz quickly went on the defence.

 

The stable decided to publicly air their dirty laundry with  B3nchmarq but decided to withhold any information on A-Reece and Fifi Cooper, saying the matter might go to court.

The artists however, have been very vocal about why they left. Fifi clapped back at a comment made by the stable that she abuses alcohol.

A-Reece decided not to let his fingers do the talking, instead he released a track titled Loyal,  that touched on his reasons for leaving.

The lyrics mimic Gastor's rant as the musician raps, “After sitting down and showing me those false ass figures, you a foul a** nigga. Should have seen it from the beginning and knew it'd happen. You double crossing a** nigga. These all facts nigga. Why the f**k you pulling B3nchmarQ back? Where the f**k do our awards stay at? How come Amanda Black ain't even seen her plaque?”
