DJ Maphorisa Calls Out Podcasters: 'What Did I Do to You?'

DJ Maphorisa has officially had enough of the ongoing drama with the Podcast and Chill team comprising Sfiso, Thakgi, and MacG. Recently, during a live stream, he unleashed his frustration, questioning the incessant scrutiny from the trio.

On 6 January 2025, Maphorisa aired out his grievances while addressing the harsh comments they've made about him. He reached out directly to Thakgi, seeking answers for his hostility.

"He's still young, he'll learn. Instead of being mad, I spoke to him and asked why he's always attacking me, 'What did I do to you?'"

In a moment of reflection amidst his passionate rant, he noted that this relentless spotlight on him might be more about their need for content than genuine animosity.

"For Mafitsotso, Thakgi, and MacG to make money, I must be involved, for them to get some traction. That's what I've realised."

He highlighted how his emotional responses often fuel their narratives, suggesting they use his controversies to draw viewers to their shows.

"It's because I'm emotional and take things to heart, but how can I not? When I've worked so hard for this industry, I'm still being attacked. It's either they're ignorant or just love negativity."

Maphorisa believes that the trio tends to magnify his downfalls, neglecting the positive impact he’s made in the music scene, as seen in his support for artists like Kabza De Small.

His comments follow a panel discussion on the Piano Pulse platform, where various artists, including Private School Amapiano’s Kelvin Momo, faced tough critiques. Maphorisa was not spared, prompting his candid response.

The online community has since split opinions; some praised his honesty while others think he may be inadvertently feeding the drama they crave.
