Big Zulu Says He Is Done Signing Artists Under Inkabi Records: “Artists Have Extremely Mistreated Me”

Big Zulu has spoken out for the first time amid the controversy around his record label, Inkabi Records. The rapper said during a recent livestream that he no longer wants to sign artists to the label.

“I don’t wish to sign artists anymore under the label. Artists have extremely mistreated me, but I will help those who need my help,” he said.

He described himself as a father figure to the artists he has worked with. He said he put time and guidance into each of them, even when his advice went unheeded. Helping people remains close to his heart, he added, but the ingratitude has taken its toll.

Big Zulu Defends Inkabi Records After Artist Allegations

The label has been under pressure after allegations from its signees. Singer Lwah Ndlunkulu reportedly went public claiming she is caught up in a financial dispute with the label.

She also alleged that her manager spread false rumours about her whereabouts, which caused concern among fans. Inkabi Records denied the allegations in a statement.

Big Zulu pushed back on the idea that the label has failed its artists. He pointed to Stallion and Lwah as examples of what Inkabi helped build, saying both have bought multiple properties, own several cars and are doing well financially. “What more do people want from Inkabi Records?” he asked.

Big Zulu And Inkabi Records: Not The First Controversy

This is not the first time the label has faced public criticism. In March 2026, artist Mduduzi Ncube left Inkabi Records and publicly accused it of exploitation before launching his own independent outfit.

Those are his claims, and the label has denied exploiting its artists. It is unclear what the decision means for the artists still on the Inkabi roster.

Big Zulu did not say whether he will release anyone from their contracts or change how the label operates. Lwah has not responded to his livestream comments in the information available.
