This much lurved DJ has been appearing on front covers of tabloids lately, and obviously not for good reasons! He has what seems to be a good life; fame, money, fans, groupies, Terry Pheto, a successful company, a career (he’s paid handsomely) etc… But he just can’t get himself out of trouble.
He was first caught driving his Audi TT at 257km/hr in a 120km/hr zone. Does he realise how dangerous this is? This is not only dangerous to him but to innocent drivers who have families to feed and care for. His excuse was something like “I was driving a comfortable car and I was not even aware that I was speeding”, that’s *bleep!*! I know you are not as DUMB as you think you are, you were aware that you were driving at a very high speed!
Again he got himself entangled in another web of trouble. He was booked to perform in Mthatha by Monde Tshamlambo and he did not! Instead he stole the car hired to deliver him to the venue of the gig and took off! A road block was made by the police to try to stop him, somehow he managed to escape and reached his destination “Jozi”. The car was found safe and sound in OR Tambo airport! Obviously he was speeding!
Last year Sbu faced a R100 000 lawsuit by DJ Peace from Swaziland. This came after students at the University of Swaziland went on the rampage because Leope failed to honour a commitment to perform at the campus. He also did the same thing at Fort Hare University.
Now he is alleged of duping Wade Engelbrecht out of money due to him. Wade is the guy who sings “Remember when it rained” for Sbu. Apparently Wade was just auditioning with that song for something and voila, he had his voice on DJ Sbu’s cd and was not compensated for that. The bottom line is that his voice was used without his permission and now he is suing Sbu for some moola. Now I am wondering, why did this guy wait for this long to actually take Sbu to court? The cd was released about a decade ago! I can’t help but think this is just one of his publicity stunts! TK Nciza (Nhlanhla’s hubby) says that Wade was paid R 2000. Is he this cheap. Sbu sold over 200 000 copies and they give this guy such peanuts, this is what I call exploitation!
This had me in stitches for about an hour:
“On the music video S’bu is miming but it is actually my voice. He can’t even speak properly so how can he be expected to sing. He lacks integrity.”
Fame has been embedded on this guys heard. I hope he is learning from all his mistakes as each time he misbehaves, he loses a handful of fans and people who admire and look up to him.
A random statement: Some of his ex’s are Nonhle Thema and Thami Ngubeni. I think Nonhle was too fly for DJ Sbu.
Metrofm awards saga
This radio station is accused of bias towards its presenters and music compiler in the nomination process of the station’s music awards. Unathi, Glen and Fistaz have been nominated for many awards. Personally I think they all deserved the nominations, people should stop smelling a rat where there is none! Ntando has been kicked out of the nominees list because he lied about the release date of his album, LOL!
