Maphorisa has questions about mysterious new Amapiano Awards

In other Phori news, Briefly News reported that DJ Maphorisa had more questions than answers regarding the newly-announced Amapiano awards.

The awards seemingly appeared out of nowhere and nobody knew who was behind them. Taking to social media, Phori asked:

“Who created SA Amapiano awards?”

Some thought that Phori was hating because he didn’t think of the idea himself while others were just as curious as he was.
