MacG Breaks Down How Nota Allegedly Ended Up Holding Kwesta’s Masters. MacG has offered his take on the long-running questions surrounding Nota Baloyi’s control of music masters and royalty income linked to Kwesta, using a story shared on Podcast and Chill to highlight the importance of getting business agreements right from the beginning.

During the discussion, the South African podcast host made it clear that his account was based on what he had heard, leaving room for correction if any details were inaccurate. According to MacG, Kwesta, Leroy and Nota were young and still finding their feet when they came together with the idea of starting a record label.

At the time, the trio allegedly had a shared vision, but there was one practical hurdle. Nota was reportedly the only one who already had a registered company, leading them to use his existing business to get their plans off the ground.

MacG suggested that the arrangement was intended to be temporary, with the group supposedly planning to register a new entity at a later stage. However, that change allegedly never happened.

“We’ll use your company for now and then later we’ll register a new entity,” MacG recalled, explaining the arrangement as he understood it. “But just to get this ball rolling, we’ll use your company. And until this day, it hasn’t been changed.”

According to the podcast host’s account, the failure to formalise a new business structure could explain why Nota continues to control the masters and collect royalties associated with the music created during that period. However, MacG presented this as his understanding of the situation rather than a verified account of the contractual arrangements between the parties.

Beyond the specifics of Kwesta’s situation, MacG used the discussion to deliver a broader message to musicians, producers and aspiring entrepreneurs about the risks of entering business partnerships without establishing clear agreements.

“You must be careful when we start these things… You never know what it’s gonna become. So just do it right from the onset,” he advised.

His comments highlight a crucial lesson for artists building careers and businesses with friends or collaborators. What begins as a temporary arrangement to get a project moving can have lasting consequences if ownership, contractual obligations and financial interests are not properly documented.

For creatives looking to build sustainable careers in the music industry, MacG’s account serves as a reminder that trust and a shared vision are important, but clear legal agreements are equally essential.
