MA-E Parts Ways With SkhandaWorld. As fans were still having a glimpse of hope that there will be a Teargas reunion, all those hopes have now been shattered following Ma-E’s departure from SkhandaWorld.
According to a joint statement from SkhandaWorld and Universal Music South Africa, Ma-E, JustBheki and DJ Mr X have left the organizations in accordance with a mutual understanding. “This is a public announcement to all media platforms and stakeholders, SKHANDAWORLD in partnership with Universal Music South Africa has mutually agreed to part ways with the following artists Ma-E, JustBheki and DJ Mr X.” Read the statement.
In the statement, the joint record labels expressed their gratitude for working with the aforementioned artists throughout their tenure as part of the joint venture. “The joint labels sincerely appreciate all the work that Ma-E, JustBheki & DJ Mr X have contributed to the local music industry throughout the years that they have been signed to the joint venture.”
Ma-E and DJ Mr X took to Twitter to express their appreciation for working with the record company. “Salute Gents, Skhanda 4ever,” Ma-E tweeted.
Ma-E and K.O. have been together since the days of Teargas, so it will be interesting to see where they stand in the wake of the recent announcement. K.O. made it clear that Ma-E has been a catalyst in the running of SkhandaWorld mostly when it comes to bringing in artists.
Mr Cashtime stated that it was Ma-E who discovered JustBheki and DJ Mr X and he has been grateful for all his work.
“The reason why Ma-E is also still apart of what we’re doing now and he’s always been involved in everything that I do since day one is because um, for some reason whether he’s aware of it or not he ends up being our scout of some sort you know, and he just brings people to the circle and once they’re around us we realize oh shucks this guy he’s actually cool.“
“That’s how we came across Mr X, that’s also how we bumped into Just Bheki who’s the vocalist, the first vocalist on the label as well. So Ma-E is pretty much the catalyst in some of these things and we’re grateful for him.” K.O said.
