Is DJ Sbu a crook or just an overgrown boy!

Written by Joe from the blog Oh shame on 13 Oct 2008
Favourite this post



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!

<<<Personally I think they all deserved the nominations>>> What's Unathi's release date? I'm too lazy to go look for the info....

What's Unathi's release date? I'm too lazy to go look for the info.... I think the single came out sometime beg of sept???? cause the husband has been giving it far too much airplay last month alone...


As for Sbu I am tempted to say he is an attention seeking son of man but at the same time he doesnt write stories about shimself..... the media loves him... i think RGB can try and get some nice goss just on him alone

this guy Sbu who claims to be bad with people's names needs to get his act together....i'm not sure about the media loving him statement, guess it's his turn to have dirt dished out...
correction: he didn't date Nonhle he tried to pursued her, but the girl was right for not falling for him, she can much much better, she deserves better

The release date doesn't matter, what i want to know, how many people have heard the single other than on Metrofm.

Unathi is not the only one, what about Thembisile - the girl from Pop stars? She has a New Album?  This sunday i went to 65% of the musica shops in Pretoria, non of them had her Album

This must be some stunt because on the SAMAs (don't remember which year) when the song won "Song of the Year", the same year Sbu was in a niknaks suit, Wade was there with Sbu performing the song live...

TK Nciza (Nhlanhla’s hubby) says that Wade was paid R 2000 Ha!!!

14 Oct 2008 02:58

Holy Ghost Fire and Toxic (mod), please dont start with me, I did not plagiarise this article, I did some research and wrote an article, I quoted when it was necessary! Go read the article on Sowetan and compare it with this one! 

The Nonhle Thema issue: I guess I got the wrong end of the stick, I thougt they dated and Nonhle decided to give Sbu the elbow!!!!

To all those who are crying about Unathi's album release date, stop crying coz the cut-off is 30 Sept 2008 and she released her album before that date so she qualifies for the nominations!

Her song We Thembisile does get airplay on Umhlobo Wenene fm and jah it is on Metro top 40, the last time I checked it was number 17! The song is good and that is indisputable!

eish mina i dont like u Sbu anymore, of lately he has this arrogancy thing...cant really explain it, he thinks hes the JZ or the Kanye West of Mzansi. as Mr West says ...."hes the *bleep!* and the urine"  lol i love this line
cha! i am sorry but that Thembisile song irritates me to the core.."ngithi we thembisile" i mena really.....

Joe
14 Oct 2008 04:03

Whatever Cande...she still qualifies! I love Unathi, I will KILL for her! (I hope BBT will not read this)
Cnglemother u better have a good memory, close ur eyes, think about the SAMA's when Sbu got the song of the year award for "Remember when it rained", can you see a white man singing the song and Sbu posing?? Don't open ur eyes until u've seen that man sing the song! This is what I call "Hypno-Joe-therapy" for Remembering! LOL

I think Wade was exploited by Sbu..........shame, just put yourself in his position and imagine how u would feel. The song is the one that pushed Sbu's sales to over 200 000 units and Wade gets nothing....Nxa

Beyonce Knowles Bee <<Shem, i hope that this is true, but am sure Sbu will resolve this Amicably! He does not need this bad stunts!>>
Why do  u  hope that this is true?? Mhnnnn Abantu, always wishing the worst for others, LOL! I don't think he solves things amicably....search his story with Monde Tshamlambo, you will see how he tossed him out of the car he (Sbu) stole like DIRT, to me that does not sound like an amicable way of resolving issues, but I may be wrong, maybe thats how things are done in this fast paced world!

Sbu... I dont believe this...it seems as if his undermining or underestimating..or whatever u call the fans from Eastern Cape....and Swaziland...what he should know is that he was invited or asked to come and do what he does best but instead he had decided to escape to where he feels like being in...he should notice that he could loose fans...and money as well...just bcoz he has money that doesnt mean that he should look down on people,,,instead he should be thankful bcoz....hes got all that bcoz of the people...umntu ngumntu ngabantu...Joe if this is true then i'm very dissapoited on him

TDC sukundicaphukisa maan..stop implying that I plagiarised this article, I did extensive research b4 i wrote it, as you can see it has many of Sbu's downfalls or let-downs and that article is only about Wade...I did not cut and paste!

<<Sbu is a self made multimillionaire by now>> is he that rich, or u r just using ZIM dollars as the currency??

Cnglma loves Crazy Lu....akana-taste mos! LOL
<<UBongani yena usahlala kwa Lance>> Haybo, why?? Uqale nini ukuhlala khona?? I heard the saga around Mabr's Mansion in Suninghill (or sth) but I did not believe it. I think he might be owning his own townhouse now, I read somewhere that Mabr's records have sold about 40 000 copies last year and Bongani (the heir) was compensated on behalf of Mabr...If he does not use the money for drugs, I am sure he is doing very fine! He also owns Mabr's recording studio, so he should be fine! Who is his fathers, is he not rich??

DJ Sbu SA's Kanye West.....Yinto engekhoyo leyo! He is not even half as good as Kanye....He must stop pulling a "Khanyi Mbau - Paris Hilton" on us! Whats up with South Africa's celebrities always deluding themselves.....

Sbu is a self made multimillionaire by now>> is he that rich, or u r just using ZIM dollars as the currency?? ...........Hayi ke ngoku Joe uyandidanisa, if you have done research on Sbu how can you not know this? Kona indoda that earns 100 000 a month, owns half of TS Records,has a cellphone network(or whatever you call that Mzekezeke starter pack),has platinum selling records amoungst other things, how much is he supposed to be worth?

As for this white guy thing, the little that Iknow about music is that when you sing on somebody's song/album that is called a session and there is a session fee that you get paid which is around that 2000 vele and then if the song is yours then that falls under publishing where you will get money from SAMRO according to the airplay of the song. As for the sales I don't remember hearing about sessinists chowing from the album sales. I stand to be corrected if somebody knows any better about this, but I can always go back and do my RESEARCH.

mara why is it that wealthy people are so downright greedy? *not referring to Sbu, talking in general*

JuJu
14 Oct 2008 09:41

Hayi nam am not sure about Unathi's singing abilities, sure the song is good but it will get annoying very soon, metro is overplaying it, but ke they do that with every song. 
I always asked myself ukuba uUnathi uqale nini ukwazi ucula? really shows that you gotta know the right people......

Joe
14 Oct 2008 09:59

Haybo Juju, kunini u-Unathi wakwazi ukucula, do you atleast have her first album? Have you heard that song she sings with Zola, "sana lwam" ? Obviously not, otherwise u would know that Unathi is a great singer! I am not saying she is the best vocalist in SA, but she is among those who can sing!

TDC...<< not rich but wealthy>> explain the difference! 
Cande to TDC <<......you sound like you know him personally?? >>, yitshuphinda! I hope not personal as in the biblical sense! I trust TDC.
<<hook a sista up with a job>> Are u sure u just want a job? If jah why not him??

“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.” 
Did Sbu ever claim that it was him singing in that song or in that video? Udlala nje ngexesha lomfana akazufumana necent kuSbu. Like TK said, he got his session fee makayeke uSbu kengoku.
