MR MUSIC BLAMES KALAWA FOR NOT RELEASING According to ZAlebs, the musician went to a YouTube podcast Engineer Your Life , about life after Idols.

It's sad that I have to speak about this but I have to. When you have people that you need to submit to in order for you to make it, if people don't see Mr Music releasing music they should DM them When I entered the show, I entered to sing, I did not go to Idols SA to be stuck and go back to square one. I went there to change my life, the way I produce my music, he said.

He also added, we do need record labels and they do need us, but it is so sad that some of the people who are signed by recording labels are not getting paid, how I wish there could be a partnership rather than a contract. I didn't apply to be part of their label. I went to Idols SA and they found me already groomed, they are the ones who should beg me
