INTERNATIONAL sensation Master KG is being accused of not producing his global hitJerusalema.
Two artists called Charmza The DJ, whose real name is Ntimela Chauke, and Lebogang “Biblos” Ledwaba claim they are the masterminds behind the track.
On 18 October, they sent a letter of demand to Master KG, Open Mic Productions, Africori and Warner Music through their lawyers.
The letter reads: “Around 19 August 2019, our client, Charmza The DJ, was invited telephonically by Master KG to visit his recording studio in Midrand to produce a track for vocalist Nomcebo.
“During the recording session at Master KG’s studio, he originated, authored, composed and produced the original musical composition for the song that Master KG and Open Mic Productions later released commercially under the title Jerusalema.
“Our client authored the original melody of the composition, the beats and the arrangement of the song, melody and vocals.”

They claimed Charmza used a sample from a song by Biblos.
The two have demanded that Master KG credit them on the song, make a public apology and pay them.
Africori said they would not respond to the allegations, while Open Mic said the claim was untrue.
Charmza and Biblos said they were ready to go to court.
Biblos said: “It’s very sad that Master KG and Open Mic are not even willing to meet with our lawyers to look at the evidence and consider the merits of our claim.”
Chamza said he had evidence that he would produce in court. “The truth will eventually be exposed,” he said.
