Skomota’s New Mercedes-Benz Purchase Raises Eyebrows, Sparks Concerns About Exploitation
Viral sensation Skomota is making headlines again, but this time for all the wrong reasons. His management recently flaunted his new Mercedes-Benz V-Class, valued at R1.4 million, on social media. However, the display has left many fans concerned about the star’s well-being.
Skomota’s Mercedes-Benz: Celebration or Exploitation?
The news first broke when MDN News shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) of Skomota supposedly celebrating his new purchase. The post read, “Skomota celebrates the purchase of his new Mercedes V-Class.” However, in the video, Skomota appeared unaware that he even owned the car, prompting a wave of concern from fans and followers.
Social media users quickly weighed in with their thoughts. One X user commented, “Why does it seem like Skomota isn’t fully aware that it’s his car?” Another concerned individual, @BBK29_, accused Skomota’s management of exploitation, stating, “How come he buys a car and seems not aware of it? Stop promoting hyenas who are busy using him for their own selfish interests.”
Many believe that Skomota might not have been involved in the purchase at all, and that the car may have been bought with money earned through his performances, without his full knowledge or consent. This incident has fueled ongoing rumors of exploitation surrounding the star.
Exploitation Allegations Resurface
Earlier this year, Skomota suspended all his bookings amid growing concerns that he was being exploited by his management. These rumors intensified after Skomota’s close friend and former manager, Skothane sa Pitori, publicly accused his current manager, Moruti wa Dikota, of financial misconduct.
In an interview with LiPO Podcast, Skothane revealed that Skomota does not have access to his own bank account and that all bookings are handled through Dikota’s account. Despite earning over R1 million from bookings, Skomota allegedly has not received his fair share of the income.
Booking Fees and Financial Control
The allegations of exploitation have left many questioning Skomota’s financial arrangements. Last year, reports suggested that Skomota was earning approximately R545,000 monthly, with a booking fee of R90,000 per event. However, the recent revelations suggest that he may not have full control over these earnings.
As fans and followers continue to express their concerns, the spotlight remains on Skomota’s management and their handling of the viral star’s finances. Whether or not these concerns will lead to changes in how Skomota’s career is managed remains to be seen. For now, the situation serves as a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls that come with sudden fame.
