The gorgeous personality recently shared her exciting news about being head-hunted by a Los Angeles based artists management agency, the agency couldn't have come at a better time after her recent debacle with her manager. The beautiful songstress is currently embroiled in a legal battle over the payment of her royalties by her manager, who tried to cheat her out of her hard-earned money.
Nandi Madida has taken to social media to set the record straight over the news article that she and her manager are currently at loggerheads over money owed to her of approximately R3.7 million. Enough money to cover what Zakes Bantwini is worth, but we are not there!
The news article suggested that Nandi was in a feud with her manager suggesting that the manager was guilty of almost running away with over R3 million of Nandi’s money that she earned as the ambassador of LUX. A deal that had baby girl flourish so much with her signature lavender short cut that landed her as the lead in Beyoncé’s “Black Is King,” in the character of the older Nala.
From the @SundayWorldZA story I can confirm that due to outstanding money a summons has been sent from my legal team to Amaru Da Costa (Thamsanqa Fakazi) an agent who works with Unilever on the LUX campaign. He is not my manager&has never been my manager as the headline suggests. pic.twitter.com/ngoYENTEY6
Nandi released a statement to lay down the facts...
"I can confirm a summons has been sent this week from my legal team to an agent who worked on the LUX campaign for Unilever. Thamsanqa Fakazi (known as Amaru Da Costa) from Ade Holding Propriety who was not my manager, and has never been my manager as his company is the agent of this campaign. He has been issued with a summons for outstanding money he has not paid me from the LUX campaign, as the ambassador.”
