Nomcebo Zikode, the female voice behind the global hit, is getting reading to fight for what she claims is due to her.
While Master KG continues to ride the crest of the wave following on the life-changing success of the gospel-inspired house song, Jerusalema, Zikode claims that she has been left out in the cold. Released in November 2019, it went on to become the dance anthem of the global pandemic, charting all over the world. The song reached number one in several countries including Romania, Belgium, Netherlands, and Switzerland.
However, despite having co-written Jerusalema with Master KG, Nomcebo Zikode now claims she is owed royalties for the song.
Talking to Twitter she said: “Thank you to all the fans of Jerusalema you have made my dreams a reality, with attaining a global hit song. My voice and lyrics have transcended globally, but I still await what is due to me,.I have not been paid a cent by the label for (Jerusalema), despite the song’s global success. I have been ridiculed, with efforts to marginalize my contribution”
She states in the post that the matter is now with her lawyers.
