Makhadzi ditches Open Mic Production
According to recent reports, the popular artist Makhadzi has decided to part ways with Open Mic Productions. After a successful three-year partnership with the record label, Makhadzi has chosen not to renew her contract, which expired in March 2023. Instead, she will be focusing on her own company, Makhadzi Entertainment, and pursuing other business opportunities.
During her time with Open Mic Productions, Makhadzi released four studio albums that were incredibly successful. These albums achieved gold status and garnered significant attention on streaming platforms.
Makhadzi stated that she had hoped for a resolution with the label, but when they did not respond, she sent a final email accepting the termination of her contract. As of now, Open Mic Productions has not yet confirmed or addressed Makhadzi’s statement.
Makhadzi said:
“I travelled the world which was made possible by my relationship with Open Mic Production. I performed in countries such as United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Nigeria, Senegal and SADC countries and many other countries across the globe.
“I also won awards such as ‘Ubuntu Arts and Culture Diplomacy Award’, ‘Mzansi Viewers Choice Award’, Basadi Music Award’, ‘AFIMA’, ‘South African Music Award (SAMA)’ and ‘Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards’ to name a few.”

In her statement, Makhadzi expressed her gratitude towards Open Mic Productions for their hard work and dedication in helping her achieve success in her career. However, recent months have been challenging for the artist, with lost opportunities and non-refunded booking costs. Additionally, there have been conflicting reports about her relationship with fellow musician Master KG.
Despite these setbacks, Makhadzi remains a popular musician in South Africa with a dedicated fan base. In April 2023, news of a conflict between Open Mic Productions and Makhadzi was reported. The multi-award-winning artist announced on social media that her three-year contract with the record label had come to an end.
In response to this announcement, Open Mic Productions released a statement that contradicted Makhadzi’s confirmation. The record company implied in a coded statement that Makhadzi may still be under their control despite the contract issues.
