Reports suggest that award-winning rapper, Sjava is very extremely unhappy at Ambitiouz and is currently planning to ditch the label.
This comes after Ambitiouz Entertainment boss, Kgosi Mahumapelo in a recent interview with The Sowetan indicated that the recording, publishing and marketing deals that Sjava signed with the label still stood and will continue to be active for a few years to come.
“An artist or label cannot opt to renew a contract that is still active and will be for a few years to come. All three contracts are active and Ambitiouz have not requested the artist to renew any,” Mahumapelo said.
Sjava is reportedly said to be unhappy about not receiving any money from his feature on the Black Panther soundtrack in 2018 from the label.
Reacting to this, Mahumapelo defended his label saying and in his reaction, he said;
“Ambitiouz have not received any form of payment from the Black Panther project to date and efforts have been made to claim revenues from the project, including hiring international royalty specialists to assist in this regards.”
Other reports also claimed that the rapper and the Ambitiouz boss have reportedly had several other disagreements including Sjava apparently taking side gigs in secret and independently making money, which was not part of their signed management agreement.
As the story unfolds, if Sjava manages to leave the label, he would have followed other rappers who cut ties with the label including Emtee, Fifi Cooper and A-Reece.
