UNWRAP.ONLINETHE rift between DJ Spuzza and his former record label, RTE, is deepening.
Slaughterhouze natives DJ Spuzza and Txngos, who late December 2020 left Remember The Eagle (RTE) records after a dispute over performance fees, are on each other’s necks again. The beef reignited when DJ Spuzza and Txngos posted two events they will headline this Saturday.
RTE Records claims ‘Soek Soek’ singer DJ Spuzza refused to sign a termination contract with them and instead wanted to battle it out in the courts. Therefore, they say DJ Spuzza cannot perform with another club or establishment while the matter is still in the courts.
“Due to the ongoing case, Slaughterhouse cannot have any gigs and bookings until the courts resolve the matter. Any promoter, club owner or establishment that books DJ Spuzza and/or Txngos is doing that under the wrong impression and will be liable to pay the full booking fees to RTE Records,” said Ennio Hamutenya, RTE founder.
He also said DJ Spuzza’s accusations were brought forward under false pretences.
“The label management team is only following the standard procedure until the case is settled in court,” Hamutenya said.
He added that RTE Records commits to resolving the matter with DJ Spuzza amicably.
DJ Spuzza said RTE Records cannot stop him as there is no contract between the two parties anymore and, therefore, he is going ahead with his gigs planned at a local club and bar.
“We are no longer associated with RTE Records and as we know it, they even made it public that they want nothing to do with us and are no longer associated with us. I’d like to inform the public that they are trying to scam you by using Slaughterhouse to make money,” said Spuzza.
