Murdah Bongz Accused Of Breaching Contract After Failing To Pitch At EC Event

South African DJ and producer Murdah Bongz is facing backlash after allegedly cancelling a paid gig at Jola Café in the Eastern Cape at the last minute.

The establishment claims that despite receiving full payment of R45,000, the DJ did not show up, citing health reasons—only to be spotted performing in Johannesburg hours later.

This controversy has sparked an online debate, with some demanding a refund and accountability, while others are defending Murdah Bongz, arguing that he might rectify the situation by rescheduling.
