Limpopo-born artist Makhadzi had social media buzzing over the weekend when she threatened to pull out from the Phalaphala FM Royal Heritage Festival.
Makhadzi, who previously made headlines when she performed at her one-woman show, took to her Facebook on Friday, 1 August, to threaten to withdraw from the event.
The singer, who recently celebrated her birthday, wants the organisers to increase the font size on her name on the official poster.

South Africans react to Makhadzi's posts
@NevondoRi said:
"You can’t put Makhadzi like an upcoming artist. She is the biggest artist in the country. Put some respect on her name, please, @RoyalHFestival."
@cmonama replied:
"I agree with her. This poster is disrespecting her."
@Malose__26 wrote:
"She’s right, I had to check many times to see her name 😂."
@djstago commented:
"Makhadzi is becoming big-headed. Yes, I know she has a big head. However, she needs to come down. This lineup is dope ."
@ladyhuneybee reacted:
"I don’t blame her, they’ve mistreated her over and over again."
@Kay_beeeh said:
"She's bigger than Ami Faku. She deserves it."
@MtoloSam wrote:
"I can't see her name and her picture. She is bigger than all of them, Bayamjwayela!" (They're disrespecting her).
@nomkhosi4 responded:
"It took me 5 minutes to see her name! She has a point 🕶."
@MokwadiMo said:
"They must also rearrange the order. She must come right after Scorpion Kings."
@Mama_Bridgie wrote:
"It's a trauma response, and yes, that font isn't for big stars like her."
@JayZwoitwa replied:
"For the first time, I think Phalaphala should let her go; that name is visible enough, and her picture is clear. Unless she wants to be the main character. The font used for her is the same font used for Kelvin Momo and Scorpion kings for God's sake!"
@Thapelo_Advisor replied:
"A whole BET Award winner! Put the respect on her name."
