DJ Sbu speaking on Zahara’s liver problem – Watch

A clip of DJ Sbu‘s 2021 interview defending his record label and lambasting Zahara’s statement is trending on social media after the singer’s death on Monday.

DJ Sbu also revealed that Zahara was having liver problems and drinking alcohol and rubbished reports that he took the late musician’s money.

“She was going through the most, nobody was there for her. She was in hospital; she was having liver problems, and the doctors were saying drinking alcohol.”

Sowetan reported in 2019 that the late multi-award-winning Afro-pop musician claimed she is owed millions of rands by her former record label, TS Records.

The singer made the allegations against TS Records executives TK Nciza and Sbu Leope, claimed that she was underpaid for her performances.

Kaya 959 previously reported that Sbu opened up about how “keeping up with appearances” cost him severely, in an interview on The Penuel Show.

“I’ve lived that lifestyle, rolling in Porsches, travelling. I’ve driven all these luxury sports cars, and had that life, throwing parties, going out, and dropping money. You know the celebrity life. Back then I was proud about it, but now looking back I realise that I was dumb. When it comes to finances, I’ve fallen and I’ve got myself to blame, no one else.”

Leope also opened up about the poor financial decisions that caused him to overspend in order to live the “celebrity lifestyle” when he was younger.

Speaking about his long list of accolades — which include TV and radio presenting, co-owning record label TS Records, and starting his online radio station called Massiv Metro — DJ Sbu admitted that he made “dumb” financial choices when the money started rolling in and he blames no one else but himself.

“When it comes to finances, I’ve fallen and I’ve got myself to blame and nobody else,” he said.
