DJ Maphorisa could not care less about people dragging his name. The star stuck to his guns regarding his sentiments on demanding music rights from artists who record in his studio.
Maphorisa dragged for demanding music rights
DJ Maphorisa jumped on Instagram Live, where he claimed that he can demand rights from artists if they use his studio and equipment to record their music.
“When you record your music on my computer, my studio, with my electricity. That song is mine, it belongs to me. You people do not know anything. I am the one who buys the food, the one who buys water and everything else. So, what do you own? Why must you own things you didn't come with?

“Please understand that when you work in someone's studio, that project now belongs to them, it's not yours. Buy your own studio and plug-ins, FruityLoops, a microphone and everything else, then make music and release it. Then you will be the owner of your masters.”
Prince Kaybee joins Mzansi in trolling Maphorisa
Prince Kaybee said it's wrong to claim ownership from artists and argued that there is no legal backing for this. They then engaged in a heated exchange, with Phori saying Prince Kaybee is now an adult star, but Prince did not take that lying down.
"There’s a lack of moral commitment to artists generally from a basic human principle to parallel their artistic capabilities and talent to a computer, lights and Nando's, and it's not building the economy of the artist. I disagree with what you stand for, and that's that.
"You want to quantify a personal piece of art from a talented individual to facilities, how far do you really wanna take it? What if the artist has had the song started before he got to the studio? What if the artist doesn’t eat? What if the artist comes with plugins and chords already formulated? How far do you want to take it?"
Maphorisa claps back at haters
Phori got called out, but he could not be less bothered. In his clapback, he said he still owns the rights nonetheless. He was also trolled for his English.
"Ok guys, I surrender. I'm not a producer, actually, I really don't know how to produce songs. I’m just a smart businessman. I won’t even try to produce music anymore. Also, I will try to improve my Engrish 'cause clearly, I can't read tweets. But the masters belong to mwah. Sharp neh."
Mzansi peeps are not impressed. X user @chuenemarumo said:
"Clearly, you are not so bright."
Another person, @Rori_DeepSoul, responded:
"What makes you think we heard Amapiano through you? After watching that live, you are very ignorant tjerrr. As much as God shines ka wena, he can also remind you that you are not in Charge."
Maphorisa brags about changing the music game
In a previous report from Briefly News, DJ Maphorisa claimed that he changed the music industry and would change it again.
Madumane also gave himself flowers for being instrumental in many South African artists' careers, saying he made superstars.
