Joe Baloyi Accuses Kabza De Small Of Remixing His Song Without His Permission. Tsonga music artist Joe Baloyi, aka Mashamba, is crying foul after songbird Makhadzi and amapiano king Kabza de Small, among others, remixed his popular song, Malume, without his permission.
He also complained to Sunday World that he was not paid royalties for the blockbuster song, which he co-produced with legendary musician Chicco Twala nearly 30 years ago.
Speaking to Sunday World, Baloyi said he co-produced the stellar cut with Twala in 1996 when he lived in Meadowlands, Soweto, at the time.Baloyi said Twala, whom he had not seen since the release of the song, emerged out of nowhere and contacted him about two months ago.
Amapiano producer Elvirgo remixed the song and titled it Malume, featuring Tallex Q, Makhadzi, Kabza de Small and Mordecai.In the other remixed version of the number, which also features Makhadzi, Elvirgo only credited himself, Twala and Tallex Q, as the producers and stole Baloyi’s thunder by not crediting him.
