Seeing DJ Maphorisa’s post, fans felt that naming ghostwriters would defeat the purpose of having a ghostwriter. Peeps feel that ghostwriters understand they will not be named and that is what they are paid for.
“Imagine if Drake admitted he has a ghostwriter??? The n*gga didn't even give you enough credit for the work you did for him.”
“Defeats the purpose mara mos.”
“But Dumi Dumi if I credit them they're no longer a 'ghost' writer. Just a writer. Angithi they agree in the first place to remain anonymous.”
