Reacting to the backlash, Porry recorded a video shared by Ori_RSA addressing the artists throwing shade at him, claiming that they were all his children:

"I helped them survive and put food on the table, all of the new guys doing Amapiano. I'm not referring to Stokie or Kabza; they're the bosses. I'm talking about the new guys. You're my kids; there's nothing you can do.

"Especially these negative ones. It's crazy because you talk about me but still have to play my song; how does that make sense? I changed the game, and they still want to talk nonsense. But go ahead, we're still going to do wonders with Amapiano."
