Amapiano vocalist and songwriter Boontle RSA has publicly addressed growing online controversy surrounding the release of “Ba Sleg,” a collaborative single that has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms since its drop on June 12, 2026.
The track features Yummy P, LeMark, Dench, Sponge 101, alongside contributions from Boontle RSA and 2woshort. While the song has gained traction among Amapiano listeners, much of the attention has shifted from the music itself to disputes and claims circulating online about its creation and involvement.
Taking to Instagram, Boontle RSA shared an emotional and detailed statement expressing frustration over what he described as repeated misunderstandings and misrepresentations involving his work.
“I’ve been through a lot and I don’t remember calling who n who but to deal with my things alone,” he wrote, adding that, “This is the 3rd incident.”
The vocalist went on to highlight the challenges he has faced throughout his career, particularly around recognition and financial compensation. He revealed that despite being involved in multiple successful projects, he feels he has not received proper financial acknowledgment for his contributions.
“In my life I’ve never received any royalties trust me. Then this again?” he added.
Boontle RSA also questioned claims suggesting formal agreements or arrangements with certain individuals involved in the track, stating that he had no prior communication with them before the song’s release.
“She just followed me right after the song dropped then they say bekune agreement while I’ve never spoke to them,” he said.
His comments further touched on a broader issue within the music industry — the gap between creative work and public perception. He expressed frustration over how online narratives can often distort the reality of how songs are made and who contributes to them.
“We work our a**s out for people who will be lying on social platforms and write captions like that,” he stated.
Despite the tension surrounding the release, Boontle RSA emphasized his dedication to his craft and the effort he has invested in building his name within the Amapiano scene. Known for his distinctive vocal style and consistent collaborations with major producers, he has become one of the genre’s respected voices.
“Ba Sleg” continues to circulate widely on streaming platforms and social media, drawing both praise and debate as listeners engage with the track and its surrounding controversy.
At the time of publication, no official responses have been issued by the other artists involved in the project regarding Boontle RSA’s statements. However, the situation has sparked broader conversations about credit, transparency, and artist rights within the Amapiano industry.
As discussions continue online, Boontle RSA’s message has highlighted the emotional and professional challenges artists often face behind the scenes — far from the spotlight where their music is enjoyed.
