Wazmo_mankgase wants more:

“We want an apology video, it looks like the management it's forcing him to apologize ,let him come out as a man and speaks for himself too🤞.”

Learny.champ said the apology was not real:

“97.9% AI generated 😂.”

Desthasmotion said Maphuma will not be forgiven:

“My guy, it’s chai, we love your music, but what you did maboi, they won’t forgive you. Do a meet and greet.”

Djzshabza made a suggestion:

“We want an apology that will touch our hearts, we want him to go LIVE and cry asking for forgiveness. You know, we want him to never repeat what he did to us. We raised you, now you turn on us and spit venom on us. Broe, we want an apology that we will forever remember in our hearts, so go live and cry and at the same time apologise, or we unfollow you. Trust me, we are down for it.”

S.chantelmadonsela_ offered advice:

“Considering his personality and how he perceives his growth in the industry, this isn’t @scotts_maphuma apologising, it’s his management. They realise that his career can go down the drain in the blink of an eye, cause truth be told, the same people who gave Scott his flowers are the same people who can bury his career. That’s your life lesson.”
