    Asanda Lusaseni Mvana, better known by his stage name Msaki, cautions musicians against record firms. The performer, who previously proclaimed a hiatus from social media, returned to Twitter to caution against signing to these labels.

    If signed to labels, she claims, the talent’s career is over.

    “When someone says I just got signed in SA … I first think – “my condolences to your career “– and then my mouth says “Is this what you’ve always wanted?” And then I say “let’s hope for the best”  then I get ready for the calls to pep-talk them when the label is labelling,” she wrote.

    While some of her supporters agreed with her comments, others questioned them.

    “They take a cut of your Master Rights, then advance you money on your share of your Master Rights, then you pay it back with funds only from your share of your Master Rights. Basically, you just gave away a share of your Master Rights for nothing,” a tweep reacted.

    Consider Msaki’s assertion—what do you think?
