DJ Maphorisa wants Mzansi to show him some love while he's still alive. The Amapiano producer took to social media recently to share how much he sacrificed to open up the industry for Amapiano artists.

"Literally begged Shimza to play Amapiano when he was touring, fought Prince Kaybee for saying Amapiano is the same sound with different vocals. You pushed the sound and uplifted the guys for real Phori."

@iamtheboringguy commented:

"Honestly, thanks DJ Maphorisa for Amapiano waves. But you did not single-handedly solidify, sacrifice and revive the music industry! Saying 'if you were not there the game will still be the same' is lies! The game would've changed, just without you!"
