When Major League DJz came across the post, they expressed disappointment that they had been left out of the list of the most influential SA Hip Hop DJs. Taking to their official X (formerly Twitter) account, the duo posted:

“Y’all forget too much.”

Mzansi claps back, reminding them why they were excluded

In the comments, South Africans reminded the duo why they didn't make the list. Several South Africans pointed out that the duo hopped onto the Amapiano wave, while others argued that Major League DJz don’t have the discography. Here are some of the reactions:

@Scarecrow701 claimed:

“You only have 3 singles, nothing more. You can't even set the BPM.”

@pshift846 said:

“It's because you guys switched to Amapiano. Otherwise, your impact on South African Hip-Hop is major.”

@StillTPTheDJ said:

“Respectfully, you guys jumped ship the moment it got bad for SA Hip-Hop & Piano started booming. Maybe don’t worry too much about a genre y’all left behind and celebrate the AMAZING, groundbreaking work you’ve done for Piano.”

“Y'all made a switch, a very beneficial one too. Thank you for Zulu Girl & Do better 💯”

@MMaluks11 said:

“No offence but maybe if it was an Amapiano list...not Hip Hop.”

@Indingo_Coffee explained:

“You guys are culture vultures… nothing to be celebrated.”
