South African musician Sir Trill has recently disclosed that despite producing several hit songs in his career, he has not received any payment. He accused his former boss, DJ Maphorisa, of exploiting his lack of knowledge about the music industry to withhold his earnings.
In a candid interview on L-tido’s podcast, Sir Trill expressed frustration, stating that DJ Maphorisa took advantage of his inexperience, particularly regarding financial matters like split sheets. “You’re a youngin from blockship; what do you know about split sheets?” he remarked. He further explained how he only learned about being swindled after realizing that his former boss had taken 100% of his earnings without his knowledge.
Despite creating popular tracks such as Yini Sdakwa, Nkantin, Kwenzakalani, Bebengazi, and Xola, Sir Trill claimed that he often struggled financially, even going hungry at times. He described the situation as painful, emphasizing that his lack of financial stability persisted despite his fame.
Sir Trill’s revelations have sparked controversy and shed light on the challenges faced by emerging artists in the music industry, particularly regarding financial exploitation and the need for greater awareness and protection of artists’ rights.
