Fans react to video of DJ Maphorisa

In the comments, netizens weighed in on the video with mixed reactions. While some reacted with humour, some pointed out that the video proved Phori has deep seated psychological issues. Others predicted that the revenue collector would be paying the Midnight Starring hitmaker a visit soon.

Here are some of the reactions:

@Kane_GM9 claimed:

“Kabza made him famous and rich.”

@MasilelaDr said:

“He suffers from low self-esteem. He’s always seeking validation from his followers. I mean, why are the likes of Black Coffee and Dj Nestum not doing such things?”

@mnm_meya predicted:

“Sars will come for him.”

@Elixir_Africa mocked:

“The Black Coffees of this world are using their very limited window of opportunity to build wealth and empires. This one is busy showing off. What a stupid guy he is!”

@tttcvlyn35 questioned:

“I wonder when you show a stack of cash, are you trying to prove a point or to make someone jealous? Like it is yours and no one is jealous of you. I really don't get the point of showing off.”

@MpapeleV said:

“They can hate all they want. The boy is doing very well and he has money. They lied and said he owned Sony R20 million but he's still out here killing it. Leave Lord Phori alone guys.”
