Amapiano Feud: Kelvin Momo Sues Kabza de Small Over Unpaid Royalties
A legal battle has erupted in the amapiano music scene, with popular artist Kelvin Momo (Thato Ledwaba) suing his former record label, PianoHub, and its CEO, Kabza de Small, for allegedly failing to promote his music commercially and pay him his royalties.
According to court documents, Kelvin Momo was signed to PianoHub in 2020 under a collaborative deal, which required the label to promote his music and pay him his royalties every six months. However, Kelvin Momo claims that Kabza de Small and PianoHub have failed to honor their obligations, and he is now demanding a sum of R1 million.
The situation has reportedly damaged Kelvin Momo’s reputation in the industry, with fellow artists reluctant to work with him. The court documents state that the label has misrepresented his status and failed to publicly acknowledge his departure, causing reputational harm.
Amapiano fans are divided, with some calling for the two artists to put their differences aside and release a joint EP. One user on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that the feud could be resolved with a collaborative project.
