An error in streaming credits has led Maskandi artist NoJobe’s team to extend apologies to the late musician Scebi “Inkosi Yamagcokama” Dlamini for the exclusion of his name from the credits of her new single, “Entabeni Kumabengela”.
Released on Friday, the track was eagerly awaited by fans, especially because it features the late Maskandi legend. However, it didn’t take long for listeners to realize that Inkosi Yamagcokama’s name was absent from the official artist credits listed on major streaming and digital distribution platforms.
This oversight sparked discussions among fans online and led NoJobe’s team to respond to the concern.
In a public statement, the management of the artist admitted fault for what it labeled as a clerical blunder during the digital distribution phase.
The team clarified that the oversight was not intentional.
“It has come to our attention that Inkosi Yamagcokama, who is a featured artist on the song, was unfortunately not included in the official credits on the distribution platforms.”
The statement further mentioned: “This was an unintentional oversight, and we take full responsibility for the mistake.”
NoJobe’s Team Takes Steps to Amend Credits
With the oversight gaining attention, NoJobe’s management reported they have already initiated contact with their digital distributor, DistroKid, to rectify the metadata linked to the release.
They stated that efforts are underway to guarantee that Inkosi Yamagcokama is credited appropriately across all streaming services and digital marketplaces.
This correction is crucial, given the late artist’s role in the piece and the significance of precise credits within the music industry.
Digital metadata is vital in determining how artists and contributors are recognized on streaming platforms. Any inaccuracies in this information can influence how listeners find a song and how contributions are acknowledged publicly.
NoJobe’s team expressed their commitment to resolving the issue as swiftly as possible.

The matter quickly became a topic of conversation among fans, necessitating a response from the artist’s team to clarify the situation.
Instead of disregarding the concerns, the management recognized the error and issued an apology to those impacted.
The apology was aimed at Inkosi Yamagcokama, his dedicated followers and listeners who supported the release.
The team expressed regret over the mistake and thanked fans for their patience during the process of making the technical correction.
