DJ Maphorisa took social media by storm once again, as per his promise that “I am strong and I will bounce back,” after a successful gig with Kabza De Small.
After facing some bad publicity last week over the recent release of the chart topping amapiano song called “Amalanga Awafani,” DJ Maphorisa bounced back with an electric performance at the Galaxy 947Joburg event that was held at Crocodile Creek Polo Club in Lanseria.
The controversial hitmaker performed with Kabza de Small at the weekend as they sent thousands into a frenzy as they performed on stage, dancing and electrifying the audience.
TIn videos seen on social media, Maphorisa had thousands of fans singing and dancing along with him, seemingly unaffected by the threats to cancel him.
Last week, he went live on Instagram to address the issue of not crediting vocalist Samthing Soweto on the song’s release.
Things got out of control as he started getting emotional, saying things like, “Do you know what I have done for this country, for the game?”
He also mentioned that people should not come for Mas Musiq, the song’s producer, but should hold him accountable instead.
The performance was a testament of his words that he will bounce as it was a success. Videos shared online and on Tiktok showed fans singing and dancing with him.
Under his post on Instagram, Mawande_yena_yedwa commented: “People only hate on the internet,” and another fan, Ne_sh_ly, said, “He did say he’ll bounce back lol.” This gig shows that no bad stunt can pull him down.
On X, @Ball_Knowledge, commented, “One thing about South Africans, they bark on social media. They never bite.” Another user, @BonganiZuluSA commented, “Celebrity hate is only on social media, there has never been an artist that was booed on stage or had a fan confronting them in real life for what social media aims to cancel them for. So basically all we do here is make noise and waste time”.
