LEBO M HITS BACK AT PRETTY SAMUELS’ DIVORCE DEMANDS
Samuels reportedly wants Lebo M to support her financially. This is because he receives royalties from Disney for his music and productions on a monthly basis. She claimed that the Lion King composer would be getting a $10 million (R187 million) payout for his music catalogue.
According to the source, Samuels also wants a division of the estate, which includes a R5.5 million property in Pearls of Umhlanga as well as a R1.8 million property in Cedar Acres, Sandton. In addition, she is demanding R2 million from him to cover her legal costs for their pending divorce.
However, Lebo M has reportedly accused his wife of cheating on him during their 18-month-long union.

Since their seperation, the producer alleged that he last saw Samuels in Fourways, Johannesburg, driving an expensive car, an indication that she was not as destitute as she claims.

He reportedly claimed to have intervened on the matter to help resolve it.
MUTI ALLEGATIONS
According to a statement by the producer in August last year, he claimed to have found muthi “tucked away” in Samuels’ closet.
