Makwela is King Monada's curse and a blessing at the same time.

A thread...
King Monada as an artist is supposed to be very far and rich. He owns the whole genre and is the king of it. His millions of fans are the most loyal. So why is this not translating into tangible commercial gain for this humble young man? The answer is Makwela...
Makwela thinks he is acting in the best interest of King Monada even though majority of his decisions are actively working against Monada. One of those foolish decisions is that, King Monada doesn't charge for a feature. His reasons for this decision are so whack...
Many prominent artists in SA & Nigeria were willing to pay top dollar to feature King Monada after 'Ska Bhora Moreki' & 'Malwedhe'. How many of those materialised? Makwela convinced Monada that going commercial is bad for him. I think he was scared of losing him to mainstream...
Besides stopping lucrative features, Makwela is also sabotaging King Monada from digital revenue point of view. Go search for "WA Nkgobatxa" on Apple Music or Tidal, its nowhere to be found. So how's the King supposed to make money if his music can't be found? 🤦🏾‍♂️
King Monada should be headlining major events in Southern Africa, but this is not the case. Why? Makwela convinced him that he can't leave the village because it made him, forgetting that even those fans that made him who he is, are where he is supposed to be, the city of gold.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Makwela is a horrible person. King Monada is where he is because of Makwela's guidance, but the man is clueless when coming to business & monetisation. He can't ask for help because he feels like if someone comes in, he will lose his meal ticket
Makwela is making King Monada lose relationships with vital industry people & organisations, Thobela FM and Open Mic is two of those examples. Monada's relationship with Master KG and Makhadzi is broken, all because of Makwela. So who is Makwela serving then? HIMSELF.
