There is no sign yet of the musician giving up on his fight with the stable. In a Facebook post, Intaba Yase Dubai called out Ambitiouz for apparently removing his single "Voicemail" from YouTube.
In light of their ongoing fight over his royalties, he said he is not done with the stable. “Ambitious Removed my new single #Voicemail on my Chanel on Youtube. Which means they don't get full of the money they have eaten. But then the war is still going on and we don’t know where it will end.” He wrote.Intaba Yase Dubai left tongues wagging in April after he took to social media to claim that he did not receive R1 from Big Zulu Imali Eningi featuring him and the late Riky Rick.
“Nothing in this world beats the pain of watching another man gain a lot of money from your hard work, while you are broke. I’m sorry but I hate features with all of my heart. Coz you have to act like we are all ok while only an individual is…” he claimed. “Mali Eningi has reached over 12 Million streams. But I’m broke. Never got even R1.”
Big Zulu then released a statement to set the record straight. According to him, they paid Ambitiouz Entertainment to compensate him for his share. Furthermore, he said that Nkabi Records paid the disgraced stable R94, 527, 31 over three payments between November 5th and February 11th. However, the label argued that the amount was not enough, since they would have to split the amount into 3 amounts to pay the artist, SAMRO, and get their share.
Afterwards, Intaba Yase Dubai issued a statement saying he was done with music but after careful consideration he decided he will not leave music but he would rather leave Ambitiouz. He shook fans when he announced his departure from the stable.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my supporters for the support, my family, close friends, The taxi owners, taxi drivers, Promoters, music industry colleagues and the Media Houses."
“Would also like to announce that me and Ambitiouz Entertainment have parted ways. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity and platform they gave me when no one did. Like I said before I am not fighting anyone or Ambitiouz, I don’t like uncertainty. I Almost gave up on music because I was not paid what I deserve and what I worked hard for,” he wrote.
He claimed that the stable was paying him R3700 a month but the Ambitiouz denied the claims. “Last year I was depressed and frustrated because I was gigging almost every weekend, but come month end I get paid R3,700? After being in-depth reflection on my career, I won’t quit music, I love it and I am passionate about it, most importantly that’s the only source I have to feed my family," he claimed.
