Shebeshxt recently opened up about his collaboration with DJ Maphorisa on their track “Thwerka,” and things seem to be heating up between the two. In a tell-all interview on the L-Tido Podcast, Shebeshxt revealed that he and Porry never discussed how the rights for the song would be split, which has left him feeling frustrated.

The Ambulance hitmaker shared his admiration for DJ Maphorisa but criticised his approach to business, stating that he was kept in the dark about royalties and even heard the song on its release day like any other fan, not exclusively.

Shebe’s experience highlights the importance of understanding the music business, as he admitted that royalties aren’t his top priority. This situation echoes the backlash DJ Maphorisa faced after revealing that artists who record in his studio lose their music rights to him.

Given that “Thwerka” was recorded in Maphorisa’s studio, it appears that Shebe may have to wave goodbye to any hopes of receiving royalties from the track. The incident serves as a cautionary measure for artists entering into collaborations, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and understanding of rights.
