Star Singer King Monada dragged to court over R500 Papgeld
Of late Award-winning star singer, King Monada has been making all sorts of headlines of late. From being broke to nasty child maintenances cases. Now he has been dragged to a papgeld court by his baby mama for paying chicken feed towards the maintenance of their child.
We have seen several celebs being dragged to courts over maintenances. No doubt that King Monada’s is different. It actually got Mzansi talking if he is now broke or not.
King Monada, who owns expensive vehicles including a white BMW 5 and two luxury Mercs, was slapped with a maintenance suit by his ex-girlfriend Sharon Masia after he allegedly refused to increase their 11-year-old child’s papgeld from a paltry R500 to R1 200 a month.
Taking it to the media Masia said Monada had sired a child with her about 11 years ago. It was also established that she met him when they were both still at secondary school.
She broke up with Monada in 2013 due to “family issues”. She said the Ska Bhora Moreki hitmaker has been supporting the child with R500 every month.
However, she did not complain because she supplemented it with the NSFAS funds to buy food for the child. Of late she has been struggling to supplement due to some financial woes hence Monada should pay more.

“I was getting this fund when I was a student at the Tshwane University of Technology, but because I finished last year and I’m now unemployed, the amount he gives me is no longer enough to support our child,” she said.
Masia, who lives a heartbeat away from Monada’s mansion in Ga-Mokgoloboto village outside Tzaneen, said she approached the Idibala hitmaker and asked him to increase the maintenance money to R1 200, but he refused saying it is too exorbitant and he can’t afford it.
She said when he refused to increase it, she approached the Ritavi magistrate’s court in Nkowankowa in March to open a maintenance case against him.
“The court officials told us to come on April 19 and when we arrived, he told them that he could only afford R500 a month. They then told me to bring my bank statement and also told him to bring both his personal and business statements to compare our incomes at our second appearance on April 26.”
To her shock and chagrin, she said, Monada rocked up with his legal team, who told court officials that the musician, who raked in millions of rand through gigs and royalties, could only afford R500 a month.
