Julius Malema EFF steps in to fight for FifiCooper
Fifi Cooper and Ambitious Entertainment legal battle is about to get messier with the EFF legal team involvement in the case. on Thursday, Ambitiouz Entertainment gained a court interdict against Fifi Cooper for breach of contract from the Gauteng High Court which among other things prevents her from performing her own music.
This comes after the rapper abruptly left the record label in February with fellow artists A-Reece and duo B3nchMarQ. She stated that the reason for her exit is because she had issues with the owner Kgosi Mahumapelo with regards to her finances.
In a statement released on the record label’s Twitter page, Ambitiouz Entertainment lists the terms of the interdict.

We have seen the injustice caused on Fifi Cooper by Ambitious Entertainment which is politically associated with the corrupt North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo. We have contacted Fifi with the willingness to help her fight back against the corrupt & exploitative record company!

EFF has contacted Fifi Cooper. Shit is about to go down. Ambitious Entertainment should know by now that when legal battles are involved EFF lead by @Advngcukaitobi always win. The court interdict violated Fifi’s right to do her job which she depends on to survive.
