Scotts Maphuma responds after fans ignore him

Scotts Maphuma’s comments backfired spectacularly as the crowd gave him the cold shoulder during his performance at Cotton Fest in Johannesburg.

One would think that the Wishi Wishi musician had learnt his lesson, but that seems not to be the case. Scotts Maphuma took to his Instagram account on Friday, 2 May and trolled his critics like he previously did. He shared a preview of an unreleased song featuring his frequent collaborator LeeMcKrazy.

In the caption, he spoke about making the best out of a terrible situation and how he cannot give up because it would equate to hating his haters. The post was captioned:

“Igweeee ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽 Turn lemons to lemonade. Turn hate into love ❤️❤️ If I stop I reciprocate the hate, but if I don’t I love those who love me and those who misunderstand me asiyen kubo ✌🏽❤️🔥”

In the preview, he referred to himself as Scotts Ma'attitude and interpolated Nigerian musician Shallipopi’s hit song Laho. The song is allegedly part of the yet-to-be-released London EP.
