- Maskandi artists Ntencane Zondi and Ms Levels have become embroiled in a public battle over child support for their four-year-old child, with both parties taking legal action and composing songs in retaliation.
- Ms Levels has rejected Ntencane’s child support offer through an affidavit, claiming she raised their child alone for years. Both have sought protection orders against each other due to ongoing conflict and harassment.
- Both artists have released songs bashing each other—Ntencane’s “Dear Ma Womtanami” and Ms Levels’ “Dear Baba Womtwana”—with social media users speculating they are about their personal feud, despite their denials.
A bitter dispute over child maintenance has erupted between maskandi artists Senzo “Ntencane” Zondi and Nombuso “Ms Levels” Gcabashe, involving public accusations, legal action, and even music. The pair, who share a four-year-old child, are now at odds over financial support, with both seeking protection orders against each other due to ongoing harassment.
The tension reached new heights when Ms Levels wrote an affidavit rejecting maintenance from Ntencane. She claimed that he failed to support her during her pregnancy and abandoned her after the child was born. “I’ve been raising this child without his support, and now I don’t want anything to do with him,” Ms Levels stated. She also rejected any financial contributions from Ntencane, emphasizing that she has been managing everything alone.
Despite Ms Levels’ claim that her song, *Dear Baba Womtwana*, is not directed at Ntencane, social media users are convinced otherwise. In her defense, she stated, “If the shoe fits, he must wear it,” while continuing to deny any direct attack.
Both parties have taken legal action, with Ms Levels seeking a protection order against Ntencane, accusing him and his current girlfriend of harassment. Ntencane, for his part, confirmed that he is legally prohibited from seeing his child, as one condition of the protection order prevents Ms Levels from mentioning him on social media, a condition she reportedly continues to violate.
Ntencane, however, is undeterred in his intent to provide for his child. He revealed plans to continue child support through the courts, despite Ms Levels’ rejection, stating that he has proof of financial contributions in the past, including buying clothes for the child. He also expressed frustration with Ms Levels’ refusal to accept the clothes, which she reportedly returned due to her dislike of second-hand items.
Both artists have turned to music to express their grievances, with Ntencane’s *Dear Ma Womtanami* and Ms Levels’ *Dear Baba Womtwana* both trending on social media. While each denies that their respective songs are directly aimed at the other, it’s clear that the personal conflict between them has spilled over into the public domain.
