“The person who uploaded the song did not have Jub Jub’s permission to post the song online. We do not know the person but it should be Jub Jub’s right to decide if the song should be posted online or not. Jub Jub is a musician and nothing that has happened to him will change that. He has grown because of his experiences and fans will hear how it has made his music more mature. He has a lot to offer the music industry still and he is going to keep making music,” said Jub Jub’s business partner Pablo Sehloho told TshisaLIVE
The song will return to YouTube with an accompanying music video marking the comeback of Jub Jub.
