Responding to the Open Mic statement, Makhadzi penned a lengthy Twitter thread saying she had been unhappy at the record label for a while and made her exit seem “amicable” for the sake of peace.
“All I wanted was to do my things in peace, that’s why I dropped my statement last week without pointing any fingers. Now they are disputing my statement, they are saying my contract is auto renewable. My question is how possible is it that you sign me and not give me my copy of contract (sic)?” tweeted the singer.
Makhadzi landed on the Twitter trends list as tweeps discussed her situation.
“How possible is that for you to renew my contract without coming to me? What if I am not happy working with you? Must I continue working whereas I am not happy? I served my contract, I don’t want to work with them any more,” said Makhadzi.

Makhadzi 'trapped' by 'auto-renewable' contract at Open Mic
Limpopo musician Makhadzi has penned a long thread explaining her version of events in an ongoing dispute with Open Mic Productions that has left Mzansi confused.
After speculation that Makhadzi had left Open Mic, the singer released an official statement on Wednesday announcing she had amicably left the label to pursue other business interests.
As the country was digesting the news, Open Mic released a statement contradicting Makhadzi's statement. According to Sunday World, the stable knew nothing of Makhadzi's departure since she allegedly signed a “auto renewable” contract.
Spokesperson Nkateko Maluleke insisted Makhadzi is still signed under Open Mic Productions until the record label decides otherwise.
“An auto-renewable contract means when the expiry time comes, it automatically renews until the record label decides not to renew. It renews with a similar period as the initial contract and she has a letter confirming renewal.”
