"I mean they can't even Spell my name well coz they don't know F*kol. Looking forward to you reporting the outcome of the case if there's gonna be any."

The Limpopo-born musician was reacting to a post by entertainment blogger Musa Khawula that claimed he was not even in studio when Jerusalema was conceptualised.

Peeps took to the star's comment section to share their thoughts on his reaction to the lawsuit.

@Obriegaz said:

"Why did they wait this long? Where were they? Were they still creating their own story? Is Nomcebo behind this since she once claimed that you didn't pay her for the song? You must take legal repercussions against for trying to tarnish your name."

"Okay first things first, who is Charmza? And if he is that good why can't he produce other songs?"

"Even their lawyer confirmed this on live TV, that you were not even in studio when the song was composed bafo, we'll wait and see I guess."

@AGamer5130 added:

"He said this a year or 2 ago. And suing him now will give him a lot of money if he wins. Nomcebo must clarify too cause it was her and Charmza in the Studio only."
