@Ree Maela said:
"I don't agree with you Phori, every producer they copy, stop complaining about something like that aww even yourself you copy from others if you don't copy what kind of music did you create you are just a good producer and singer you didn't produce styles.”
@Mutshidzi Kattama sid:
“Why are you telling us Phori. I'm also disappointed by you. but thanks for the brief... I was blank.”
@Sinethemba Ndlovu said:
“But l think as a well-known artist, Maphorisa you have integrity and dignity to maintain to the people, you shouldn't be saying such words rather inbox him or just leave him like that because you don't lose anything, after all, we all know you are the best sometimes silence is better than proving a point. Just remember that the whole world sees what you post so be careful don't lose respect from people bcoz of one person.”
@Massive Terrah said:
“Why is it wrong to make a beat that sound like yours... ahh coz Amapaino all the beats are similar, stop, you are too old for that...”
AKA would be interested in the switch to Amapiano, “If the right beat comes along”
In a previous story, Briefly News wrote that AKA is no stranger to the Mzansi hot topic about SA hip hop really struggling at the moment.
The self-professed amapiano artist said that he would without a doubt join the yanos wave since it is so similar to rap
SA Hip Hop Mag reports that the Baddest hitmaker is a massive fan of Maphorisa's song Izolo. The rapper is a huge Amapiano fan but his true love will forever be hip hop.
AKA posted a video of himself on his Instagram, jamming to his favourite Maphorisa hit. His caption read:
"How can you say hip hop is when this guy is clearly rapping?"
