Grammy winner Nomcebo Zikode reacts to Court ruling against Open Mic Productions
In a statement, Zikode and her record label addressed the ruling by the High Court in Pretoria in her matter with Open Mic Productions and Africori SA.
Zikode and Open Mic have been embroiled in a legal battle since 2022. In her statement, Zikode expressed her view on the judgment, labelling it 'fundamentally flawed and deeply troubling.
The 'Bayethe' hitmaker's legal team is currently studying the full judgment and an appeal is being considered.
'While we respect the role of the Court, we cannot ignore the bigger picture: this case represents more than a contractual disagreement - it is about the rights of an artist to be acknowledged, compensated and respected for their work.

How Doechii became hip-hop's most daring new star
Doechii, Florida's self-proclaimed 'Swamp Princess', is rewriting the rules of hip-hop. She's already headlined Glastonbury, scooped a Grammy and a BET Award, and become a chart-topping sensation. Her journey from sneaking out of class to practise piano, to dazzling on the world's biggest stages, is a story of grit, vision, and bold authenticity. This past year, Doechii's star has soared. Her viral NPR Tiny Desk performance showcased her rapid-fire flow and all-female band, according to Vogue . She stunned on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, performing an entire number connected to her dancers by braids. But it was her Grammy appearance that truly cemented her as a global star. After her dancers ripped off her custom suit, she prowled the stage in a jockstrap, exuding confidence and power. 'I was born to do this,' she declared. Her mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal , won the Grammy for Best Rap Album. 'I wanted to make a record without the pressure.' The hit single Denial is a River resonated for its raw honesty. 'This is a dark time for me, I'm going through a lot,' she raps, before her therapist persona interrupts: 'By 'a lot,' you mean drugs?' Doechii never shies away from tough conversations. At the BET Awards, she addressed protests in Los Angeles against raids on undocumented immigrants. 'Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear,' she told the crowd. She often uses her platform to highlight issues like reproductive rights. 'Keep abortion safe and legal' tank in her 'Nissan Altima' video. Her stylist, Sam Woolf, says, 'We like to put things on display that people like to hide or cover up.' Doechii's style is as fearless as her music. She's rocked everything from a Louis Vuitton shorts-suit at the Met Gala to a yolk-yellow Valentino Couture gown. 'My look says more about where I am in my life than who I am,' she says. Right now, she's drawn to preppy styles. 'It makes me feel confident, sharp, and like myself.' Doechii is already working on her next project. She wants it to be honest, raw, and vulnerable. 'I know it's going to be a similar theme from my last project, but with new lessons,' she says. She's also proud of her old YouTube vlogs, hoping they inspire young artists: 'Anything is possible. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be here.' Doechii's story is one of courage, creativity, and conviction. She's not just making music; she's making history. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Bayanda Walaza races for gold in Showmax call to Africa
When Bayanda Walaza hits the screen in Showmax's bold new vision for Africa, he doesn't just run; he ignites. With every powerful stride, he poses the question: What if the best in the world wasn't out there... but right here? Gold medallists Bayanda Walaza, from right, Sinesipho Dambile, Akani Simbine and Bradley Nkoana won the men's 4x100m relay during the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China. Photo: AFP Joining him is the cream of the crop of local talent: global challengers Grammy winner Tyla, amapiano DJ Kabza de Small, MaXhosa luxury of Laduma Ngxokolo, graphic artist Karabo Poppy, as well as actress Kealeboga Masango of Youngins fame, reality star and billionaire's wife Sorisha Naidoo (The Real Housewives of Durban), entrepreneur and fellow The Real Housewives star Nonku Williams, and hip-hop artist, Adulting actor and Big Brother Mzansi star Luthando BU Mthembu. They're all part of a creative uprising that pulses with the energy of our streets, our rhythms, and our stories. Voiced by Thuso Mbedu, and featuring the track 'Stay Shining' by Riky Rick, Showmax's Watch Us ad is a bold call as South African culture rewrites the global playbook. The future is here, and it's draped in beadwork, beats, and unshakeable pride. With every step he takes, Bayanda Walaza shows that world-class talent isn't emerging; it's arrived. As Showmax celebrates homegrown excellence, the message is clear: Watch Us – because the world already is. We sat down with the young runner to talk about his journey, what keeps him grounded, and what it means to carry the dreams of a generation at full speed. What does it mean to be featured by a proudly South African platform, Showmax, that's focused on telling our stories, not the world's version of them? Yoh, it's an honour, man! Being part of something that's ours – that speaks in our voices and shows where we come from – is big for me. Too often people only see the world's version of who we are. But platforms like Showmax remind us and the world that our stories matter and we can tell them better than anyone. And I'm proud to be part of telling them. Track and field is deeply personal. How has growing up in South Africa shaped your strength, mentally and physically? Growing up here teaches you to be tough. We face challenges on and off the track – you've got to hustle, stay humble, and believe in yourself even when the odds are stacked. That's made me mentally strong. As an athlete flying the flag internationally, what does it mean to wear South Africa not just on your uniform, but in your soul? Ah man, it means everything. When I step onto that track, I'm carrying more than a flag: I'm carrying my people, my family, my community, my country's hope. It's about pride, resilience, and love. Every time I run, I want the world to see what South Africa is made of. It's in my soul, 100%. How do you handle global pressure while staying grounded in where you come from? I remind myself where I started. The kid from home, just dreaming big. I've got my family, my friends, and my coach who keep me real. The pressure will always be there, but I don't let it define me. I stay true to my roots – that's what keeps me grounded no matter where in the world I'm racing.

Tyla and Doechii: cultivated talent or industry plants? The truth behind their rise
Ever since their breakthrough into the music industry and subsequent rise to success, Tyla and Doechii have consistently faced accusations of being "industry plants". Image: Instagram Often presented as independently successful, an 'industry plant' is an artist who achieves success with considerable behind-the-scenes support from a major label or industry connections. This term has been used loosely by netizens on the internet to describe such artists. When new artists arise and gain what most deem as instant success and popularity, they are often looked at as people who did not work hard for the success or deserve it. Controversies The most recent artists to fall victim to this term are South African sensation Tyla and American rapper Doechii. They both gained popularity because of their talents and became favourites to many, garnering a large following from their fans. However, they are still called 'industry plants' to this day because, according to some, they came out of 'nowhere,' even though they were putting in the work behind the scenes before they caught a lot of people's attention. The concept of 'industry plants' includes strategic marketing and promotion to reach a wider audience, as well as financial backing from either a major or indie record label for music production, music videos and touring. These accusations often spark debate among fans, with some defending the artists' authenticity and others questioning their success. Doechii In the beginning of the year, rapper Doechii was riding high as the rapper of the moment which was fuelled by the success of her successful debut album 'Alligator Bites Never Heal'. Her Grammy performance was one for the books, and she also became the third female rapper to ever win the 'Best Rap Album' award, following in the footsteps of Lauryn Hill as well as Cardi B. She graced a couple of magazine covers and her music continued to soar on the charts. Her fast paced success was followed by the 'industry plant' accusations and Doechii's fans went as far as bringing her YouTube video from 2020 to light. In the video, the rapper shared that she was fired from her job and how she was going to bet on herself to make it and be successful. The 'Anxiety' hitmaker is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), a record label that has signed artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Sza and SiR to list a few. Tyla Similarly, Tyla's swift rise sparked debate about the role of industry backing in her career. It is no secret that Tyla has been securing win after win; she has won more awards in her debut year than many other prominent artists ever have, and she achieved this both globally and nationally. Tyla's rapid rise to fame in the United States, particularly with her debut self-titled album and its deluxe version, also sparked controversy surrounding her 'industry plant' status. To American audiences, it seemed as though she burst onto the scene out of nowhere, achieving overnight success. However, she had already built a fan base in her home country, laying the groundwork for her future success. When she broke into the US market, her existing foundation and talent pushed her to new heights, leaving some to wonder if her success was solely due to her artistry or if industry backing played a significant role.
