Fans say Scotts Maphuma is bigger than President Ramaphosa

Scotts Maphuma's name popped up on social media after a video of President Cyril Ramaphosa interacting with some staff members at the OR Tambo International Airport was shared on X by a user with the handle @mbalis_bakery. In the video, the President called over some ground handling staff and thanked them for their service. Ramaphosa even asked them if they wanted to snap some pictures with him.

Social media users quickly brought up Scotts Maphuma's name, stating that the star would never spare a few minutes to talk to staff members if he were the President. The comments stem from the Beke le Beke hitmaker's comments during L-Tido's podcast, where he said he has no time to entertain fans. The caption read:

"Scott sMaphuma: I don’t have time to talk to my people. Cyril Ramaphosa: Hi 👋🏼 everyone, come, come. Thank you for everything, guys, may God bless you."

Lamiez Holworthy praised for her humility

Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that South African DJ and TV personality Lamiez Holworthy was a trending topic after a video of her interacting with a fan went viral. In the clip shared by @MDNnewss, a fan was hyping the DJ after she finished her gig, and she seemed unbothered by the constant screaming.

While fixing her earring, Lamiez had a beautiful smile, seemingly taking it all in and then proceeded to take a few pictures with the said fan. The blogger compared her behaviour to Scotts Maphuma, who is notorious for dragging his fans whenever they ask for pictures.
