Gospel star Ayanda Ntanzi feels betrayed by Kabza De Small.
Kabza allegedly remixed Ntanzi's song Spirit Of Praise without his permission.
Ntanzi told TshisaLIVE he was made aware of the remix last week as he was on South Africa's trending list.
“I wasn't aware of the remix but people started calling me that I've collaborated with Kabza De Small and I was surprised as I know nothing of a collab I did with him. Going on YouTube I found the remix song. I must say it doesn't sound bad. I'd have appreciated it if he had the courtesy to ask permission before doing it,” said Ntanzi.
“My team has since reached out to Kabza's camp for clarity on moving forward but we haven't received any reply. It's about respect, it's about courtesy, and it's about good musicianship. I would have appreciated him reaching out to me before, rather than seeing myself on the trending list, and I wouldn't have said no. I did a remix with DJ Cleo before and I agreed to work with him”.
Kabza De Small was unavailable for comment.
In July, Ayanda set social media abuzz with a top performance. The singer hosted a one-man show at the Durban ICC. Social media users were stunned by his performance, though some mocked him and called him a “Chris Brown wannabe”.
A user posted: “That dramatic entrance he wanted actually happened.”
Another posted: “uChris Brown wethu nkosi yam [Our very own Chris Brown].”
