MUSIC boss Vusi Leeuw has served his former client Ntsiki Mazwai a cease-and-desist letter.
This after she claimed that he had ruined her career.
It all started on X, formerly Twitter, when Ntsiki spoke about Zahara's death and said it had to do with her fight against exploitation by people in the music industry.
Ntsiki said that Vusi, who was once her manager, profited from her work and paid her a small percentage while he received more money from her music sales.
Vusi denied this and threatened to take her to court.

His lawyers have since served her with a cease-and-desist letter, asking her to retract the statements within 48 hours.
"Our client vehemently denies all the allegations you have made against him and will readily defend his name, business practises and reputation. You are now required to publicly retract the statements made about our client within 48 (forty-eight) hours of receipt of this letter. You are also required to publicly apologise to our client for recklessly making false accusations against him. If you do not do so, our client will institute legal proceedings," the statement reads.
Vusi's lawyer, Rudolph Baloyi, said he wanted to clear his client's name.
"My client denies Ms Mazwai's claim and all basis for this denial will become apparent once we issue the legal papers. We have already served Ms Mazwai with a cease-and-desist letter. Our client is looking forward to defending himself and clearing his name," he said.
Ntsiki declined to comment.
Vusi has worked with some of the biggest musicians in Mzansi such as Mandoza, the late HHP and with record labels like Sony Music, EMI and 999.
