In his response, Master KG rubbished the claims, calling them defamatory, reported TshisaLive.
“They can’t even spell my name well because they don’t know f**oll. I am looking forward to you reporting the outcome of the case if there is going to be any,” the report quoted Master KG as saying.
Open Mic Productions, on the other hand, said it was “inappropriate to pass allegations as facts” when they had not been tested in court.
