Bathong, there is never a day without drama on social media when it comes to Mzansi's musicians and producers. Recently, Dy Jaivane made some damning claims about Young Stunna that left many netizens stunned.

On Wednesday, 5 August 2025, the Simnandi Records owner revealed during his interview on Piano Pulse that the young Amapiano vocalist owed him credits and royalties for his hit song, Adiwele.

The star, who was recently called out by Smaki 08 in July 2025, further explained how the hit song was recorded under his label when Young Stunna was still signed under him, although the song was released under Kabza De Small's record label.
