Scotts Maphuma's reaction to the artwork did not impress social media users. Many said he wasn't supposed to embarrass the artist on social media.

@LordPiccoloSA commented:

"He must learn from Kwesta, appreciate and don’t ridicule someone’s efforts.. accept and move."

"Give him 3 months, we will be there!"

@mstamaar said:

"Even if he didn’t like the portrait, he could have simply taken it and discarded it privately at home instead of humiliating someone like that. His behaviour is incredibly rude and uncouth. Every time I see a video of him, he’s being disrespectful. Absolutely disgraceful!"

@ProudlyMzansian added:

"There’s nothing more despicable than an ungrateful person! He didn’t have to do all of that…. He could have stored it away & moved on!"
