Speedsta said his haters got their chance to be ugly to him but was not fazed because "I was born with a thick skin".
He went on to say how he enjoyed ruffling feathers on social media. Speedsta said:
"It’s super cute to see I still get them going I won’t lie."
Instead of apologising, he took another shot at the Amapiano DJs for playing the same songs at a gig. He told them to "go away".
"Please educate us, Piano DJs. You drop a new song every week, But you play the same stuff at the gig? Go away!"
Speedsta's followers on the photo-sharing app took to his commentsection to share their thoughts on his post. Check out some of their reactions below:

In related news, Briefly.co.za reported that DJ Speedsta recently bit off more than he can chew on social media recently when he dissed the Amapiano genre. Speedsta thinks that Amapiano DJs play the same song in their sets and he's not impressed at all. He tweeted:
"Piano DJ’s all play the same songs. John Wick 4 times a night."
John Wick is a song that is very popular in Mzansi currently and is up there with Umsebenzi Wethu. Speedsta however, thinks that they play the same songs every single night and quite frankly he's bored of it.
Mzansi social media users were not having it and proceeded to drag DJ Speedsta in the comments section. Many came at him for the songs he produced and fans were not happy. @Pride_Hilfiger commented:
"This is worse coming from a hip-hop DJ, you should have sat down and ate your food because you guys play the same songs every weekend. To add on that, you aren't even killing them son."
