She is one of the most booked Bacardi music artists, at only 18 years old, Jelly Babie, real name Karabo Khakhu is making big moves, however, she has also made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Jukulyn singer recently fell out with her former manager over a money dispute.
STINGY
Jelly Babie had been managed by Thato Setati of STF Projects. The two have since parted ways due to alleged greed. "Jelly is greedy when it comes to bookings," Thato said allegedly confiding in a friend. "It was nice working with her, but she is hardheaded when it comes to negotiating with promoters for bookings. She charges R20 000 or sometimes R25 000, but sometimes you negotiate and build relationships, and she does not," the source says. "She also does not give bonuses or extra money when you have worked hard, so Thato left and stopped working with her." Jelly Babie's hospitality rider includes a Henessy VSOP, Moët & Chandon champagne - nectar, eight Redbulls, two Cranberries or orange juice, four waters and a hubbly." When called and asked about their fallout, Jelly said she no longer works with Thato. "We parted ways, so? I don't know what else you need to know.? She said before dropping the phone." She is now working with Addictive Events who manage her bookings.
