Maskandi star Nxakanxaka demands his money back from Mampintsha
Maskandi artist Nxakanxaka is demanding his money from Mampintsha.
The up-and-coming maskandi artist, whose real name is Nkululeko Mhlongo, said the money is for his performances around KZN and also at Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo’s wedding. The money is also for traditional outfits and studio time.
“I used to sing in the streets of Durban where Mampintsha discovered me,” said Nxakanxaka.
“He liked my work and convinced me to join his record label. I agreed because he promised to change my life.”
Nxakanxaka said he was the first maskandi artist under Mampintsha’s label. “I performed at some of his events including his wedding in April but I was never paid,” said Nxakanxaka.
He said on another occasion Mampintsha asked him to hire a traditional outfit for one of his events.
“He didn’t have the money but I managed to get it on credit. Mampintsha failed to pay for it and the owner wants his R3 000 from me,” said Nxakanxaka.
He claims that Mampintsha further instructed him to find a studio so he could record his maskandi music.
“He said he couldn’t record maskandi music because he didn’t have the right equipment. I found a studio in Umlazi and recorded the song. The studio charged R2 000.”
Nxakanxaka said the last time he spoke to Mampintsha was in November and after that Mampintsha started ignoring his calls.
“I don’t want to work with him anymore. He’s not trustworthy. I’d rather hustle in the streets than be exploited by him,” he said.
Mampintsha’s spokesman Sbusiso Ncube said: “Nxakanxaka is our artist. At this stage we can’t discuss further details.”
