Speaking to the publication, record label boss Kgosi Mahumapelo said that the recording, publishing, and marketing deals that Sjava signed with Ambitiouz Entertainment still stood and will continue to be active for a few years to come.
“An artist or label cannot opt to renew a contract that is still active and will be for a few years to come. All three contracts are active and Ambitiouz have not requested the artist to renew any,” Kgosi Mahumapelo told the paper.
The paper alleges that top of the list of the reasons Sjava is unhappy at Ambitiouz Entertainment is over not receiving a cent from his feature on the Black Panther soundtrack in 2018.

“Ambitiouz have not received any form of payment from the Black Panther project to date and efforts have been made to claim revenues from the project, including hiring international royalty specialists to assist in this regard,” Kgosi Mahumapelo told the publication.
Unlike an Ambitiouz artist, Sjava has publicly shown support for ex-artist Emtee when he released his latest song Johustleburg recently.
“Emtee Records presents Emtee The Hustla #Johustleburg sanibonani endlini (greetings at home), please go get this song Johustleburg and thank you to everyone who has been supporting the Hustla.
