Dj Maphorisa
By Karabo Marifi
DJ Maphorisa has found himself at the center of a storm of controversy following the release of Mas Musiq’s new single, Amalanga Awafani. The song, which features DJ Maphorisa, Lawd Weezy, and TO StarQuality, has sparked widespread outrage due to the apparent exclusion of Samthing Soweto from the credits, despite his significant vocal contributions to the track.
This controversy quickly escalated on social media, with many fans and industry insiders accusing Maphorisa of exploiting Samthing Soweto. The singer responded to the snub with a broken-heart emoji on social media, further fueling the backlash.
DJ Maphorisa’s Emotional Response
In a live Instagram session, Maphorisa addressed the accusations, becoming visibly emotional as he defended his role in the industry and his relationship with Samthing Soweto. He claimed that Samthing Soweto did not put much effort into the song and accused him of bullying Mas Musiq, adding that he (Maphorisa) played a crucial role in Samthing Soweto’s career.
Maphorisa also made a bold statement during the live session, asserting that “Kabza wouldn’t be where he is today if it wasn’t for me. I worked very hard.” This statement has drawn mixed reactions, with some viewers supporting his stance, while others criticized him for what they perceive as arrogance and exploitation.
Social Media Reactions
The controversy has generated significant discussion on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Here are some reactions from users:
1. @Mulaudzi_1: “There’s no difference between Phori and the Protection Fees Gang; that man is evil.”
2. @MKHBrian: “Honestly, I’m not gonna stream this nonsense.”
3. @OlwethuVilakazi: “Samthing Soweto is going to go back into hiding again, and we just got him back.”
4. @zithobemacheli: “Why would they do that to Samthing Soweto? He literally bothers no one.”
5. @SiinahPebane: “The worst is that DJ Maphorisa doesn’t see anything wrong with what he did to Samthing Soweto he was so defensive on his live.”
6. @KenGlobally: “Why am I not shocked that DJ Maphorisa is there?”These reactions highlight the deep divide in public opinion, with many questioning Maphorisa’s ethics in the music industry, while others see him as a pivotal figure in the rise of Amapiano music, defending his actions as part of the competitive nature of the industry.
