The exploitative behaviour of Open Mic Productions is described by another artist.
Following Makhadzi’s account of her conflict with Open Mic Productions, Real Paige shared her own account of how she met the same end as the hitmaker.
The artist from Limpopo recently disclosed how her contract with the music label was extended by another three years without her permission.
The incident happened before Makhadzi announced that she would no longer be working for the company in accordance with the contract.
She also said that they hadn’t paid her a dime for all the songs she had supplied, which surprised her when the corporation renewed it.
Real Paige claimed on Twitter that she signed a 3-page contract with Open Mic but received a 17-page soft copy from the business a year later.
“What Makhadziis going through, is exactly the same thing am currently going through. From millions of streams, I have never received any benefit or a penny from those millions of streams. I remember signing a contract which was 3 pages,” she wrote.
“I requested a copy and was promised to get one in no time when I get home in 2021. The copy wasn’t sent to me as promised and throughout the year 2021, with my team and manager, we kept on requesting a copy of the contract and Open Mic couldn’t send it until July 2022.”
“to my surprise, when a 3-page contract I signed came back as a 17-page contract with my initials and signature on each and every page. The initials and signature were forged on all those pages, we then requested to come and see the original copy of this 17-page contract, and stories came up and all of a sudden they don’t have the original document, so out of fear, we decided to keep quiet because there were threats on my life and that of my management and team. Well, I just put my trust that God will answer my prayers one day, nothing trumps faith, God will be my soldier and protector.”
