"Thank you to all the fans of Jerusalema you have made my dreams a reality, with attaining a global hit song. My voice and lyrics have transcended globally, but I still await what is due to me. 

I have not been paid a cent by the label for (Jerusalema), despite the song’s global success. I have been ridiculed, with efforts to marginalize my contribution."

She said the love and support from fans has been her source of supports and she is now taking the matter to court. 

“I, as a female artist, can’t stay silent on this anymore, the matter is now with my lawyers," she concluded.
