What’s that smell? - DJ Cleo ‘flipped his wig’ at scent of his protege

No-nonsense producer DJ Cleo has fired his recalcitrant protegé Mavo for stealing his luxury perfume. News of Mavo’s dismissal from DJ Cleo’s Will of Steel Productions company came to light after it was announced on the SABC1 music show Live last Friday that Mavo had joined Chicco Twala’s stable. It is alleged that Mavo sneaked into Cleo’s bathroom in his Welgehuewel house west of Jozi, bathed and helped himself to his luxury perfume. It is believed that on smelling his perfume on the muso, Cleo flipped his wig and confronted him about it. Mavo rattled Cleo’s cage when he crocheted a story that he wore the perfume to ward off the pong he had on him after picking up bricks scattered in the yard of the wizard vinyl spinner. “This angered DJ Cleo because at that time there were no bricks in his yard and apart from that, Mavo had no right to sneak into Cleo's bedroom and help himself to his stuff. “DJ Cleo has a wife and children. What if Mavo had found Cleo’s wife bathing in the buff?” asks a source. Cleo will not deny or confirm the perfume incident. “No comment on that one,” he said when quizzed by Sunday World. But the award-winning producer confirms – refering to a story published in our newspaper about his dog being raped – that he fired Mavo for, among other things, spreading lies about his company. “The aim is not to discredit him, but Will of Steel Productions is a reputable company. We have a code of conduct which he violated,” Cleo says. Mavo confirms that he had a tiff with Cleo over the perfume. “I was sweating after picking up the bricks which were scattered in his yard. “I then went to his bathroom, bathed and used his perfume. He then got angry. But that was not the only reason we drifted apart. He had problems with my work ethics and fired me,” says Mavo.
