Belo Salo and A-Reece Bury The Hatchet In Royalty Dispute. Belo Salo has officially announced the resolution of his long-standing royalty dispute with fellow South African rapper A-Reece. The conflict, which once played out in public through explosive social media spats, has now come to a peaceful and professional conclusion.
In a heartfelt statement released to fans and supporters, Belo expressed gratitude to The Culture Counsel for mediating the process and acknowledged A-Reece’s new management for their cooperation. “I’m pleased to announce that my longstanding issue regarding royalties between myself and A-Reece has been amicably resolved,” Belo wrote. “This resolution marks a new chapter for me.”
The rift between the two artists had become one of the more talked-about tensions in South African hip-hop. Earlier this year, Belo Salo accused A-Reece of “sliming” him out of royalties from a past collaboration, expressing deep frustration in a tweet that stirred heated debate: “…I 🙁 guess it’s my fault 4 putting ur fav rapper on a pedestal till he ‘son’d’ me by sliming 🐍 me out of my Royalties…”
A-Reece swiftly responded, defending his actions and highlighting the support he had previously shown to Belo. “I brought you into my home and put you on my mixtape twice… I blame myself for that, I moved too fast and let you get too comfortable,” he said in a candid post that suggested disappointment more than hostility.
But what seemed like an irreparable rift has now turned into a surprising tale of reconciliation—an outcome that feels rare in the often ego-driven world of rap.
“I want to assure everyone that this resolution signifies a renewed focus on my craft, and I harbour no ill will towards A-Reece,” Belo affirmed. “I am excited to share that I have been working tirelessly on new music. Expect exciting projects and releases in the near future!” Fans have since flocked to social media to applaud Belo for his growth and optimism.
