The South African entertainment industry has once again been rocked by drama, and this time, it involves popular Venda star Makhadzi and her former dancer, Rush Mabanana. In a recent Instagram Live session, Rush made some explosive claims that have left fans buzzing. His most shocking statement? “Makhadzi, whatever you started, you are not gonna finish it. Just know that I am working on you, and you gonna suffer.” These harsh words have caused a stir on social media, with many weighing in on the fallout between the two former collaborators.
So, what’s the story behind these accusations? According to Rush, his time with Makhadzi was filled with feelings of underappreciation and unfair treatment. He claimed that despite juggling multiple roles as both a dancer and a driver for Makhadzi, he was paid significantly less than another dancer, Limpopo Boy. This disparity in pay, despite his hard work, left him feeling undervalued. “I worked my butt off while others were making more money,” he lamented, voicing frustration over what he believes was an unfair situation.
But the drama doesn’t stop there. Rush recounted a specific incident that took place during a trip to Botswana, where he claimed he had to take the blame for Makhadzi in a near-arrest situation. Although the details of the incident were not fully revealed, the stress and pressure of the moment were evident in Rush’s recounting. This situation only seemed to deepen the rift between him and the singer. Now, Rush has moved on and is living in Australia, where he continues to dance, conduct tours, and teach. Howeve
Adding more fuel to the fire, Limpopo Boy, who was also mentioned in Rush’s allegations, chimed in during a recent interview on the *Limpopo Podcast*. According to Limpopo Boy, he and Rush are not on good terms, and their rivalry extends beyond just money. Both dancers sport similar uppercut hairstyles with blonde dye, which has led to confusion in the industry. Limpopo Boy even mentioned that some people have used his name to get closer to Makhadzi and secure dance gigs, sparking even more tension between the two.
Unsurprisingly, social media has been ablaze with opinions on Rush’s claims. One user commented, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. For everyone involved, I hope they get fairly treated. This guy sounds hurt. May he be compensated for whatever he is owed.” This sentiment echoes the feelings of many who believe that the entertainment industry can be cutthroat and often unfair to the artists behind the scenes.
