DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small were caught in the crossfire as netizens called out abusers amid the Chris Brown concert boycott.

DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small called out

Just months ahead of the highly anticipated Chris Brown concert, it appears the show has hit a bumpy road after anti-gender-based violence activists called out the organisers.

Briefly News understands that Women For Change launched a petition to ban the singer from coming into the country due to his history of domestic violence, later sparking outrage among his fans.

One supporter, politelseheri, highlighted the need for activists to keep the same energy, saying several local alleged offenders were let off easily and enjoyed local and international gigs without protest.

The netizen named DJ Maphorisa, alluding to his assault scandal with Thuli Phongolo. She also mentioned Kabza De Small, claiming that the producer had a history of dating underage girls:

"Week after week, these people are sharing spaces with you, and y'all are buying the tickets to events they're involved in.
"Kabza was dating little girls, then all of a sudden he's 'married', but asikho lapho. Allegedly and stuff."

She also named Busta 929, who, like Kabza, was also accused of being involved with underage girls.

Meanwhile, others are stunned at Kabza being named:

"Hebun, what did Kabza do? You people have lost your minds."

LaMandamane was stunned:

"Kabza? What did he do to be on this list? Did I miss something? As far as I am aware, he just minds his business and works hard?"
