Gospel singer Keke Phoofolo is in hot water after a production company has alleged that he failed to pay them for their work on his live DVD recording and editing services in 2021.

One Take Media, a Johannesburg-based company is enraged after shooting and editing footage for the Umoya Wami singer. An insider at the company revealed that they had been protecting Keke's reputation as a "man of the cloth." But have had enough since he has allegedly not reached out to explain If he has any financial issues. "Keke was meant to pay a balance of over R20 000, but he has been quiet and not said anything. Instead, he released the video and has been making sales."

The Soweto singer is said to have ignored calls by the company. The owners of One Take Media did not want to comment. "This is business, yet it's unfortunate, especially for people who preach the gospel. But we don't want to get involved or discuss it or have our name dragged into the mess. He knows what he needs to do." The insider told ZiMoja that Keke has since kept quiet and not returned calls. "He doesn't return calls; he ignores emails and messages. But they are considering going to small claims court, but don't want to go that route. As a brother, he was supposed to say something." When called to tell his side of the story, Keke said, "No comment," and dropped the phone.
