• South Africans and fans of the Amapiano star revealed on social media that they were not surprised about his arrest

A Mozambican event organiser has blasted Amapiano star Scotts Maphuma who was reportedly arrested over the weekend.

The event organiser who's chosen to remain anonymous reveals why the popular musician was in police custody on Sunday, 1 June.

The promoter revealed to Maphepha Ndaba on Tuesday, 3 June that Maphuma did not pitch for the gig he was booked for.

The event organiser who reportedly works for the government also explains to the celebrity blog that the musician was rude to them.

“He was on his phone, ignoring us and giving us attitude. He then started laughing at us", says the disappointed organiser.

The organiser adds that the kids were highly disappointed that Maphuma did not pitch for the event and a case was opened for Maphuma.

Social media users react to the promoter's comments

"The backlash in South Africa may have contributed to his detention but recognising him shouldn't have led to police overreach. The voice notes lack clear reasons for the arrest, raising concerns about police misconduct towards Gauteng Province plates. We demand clarity on his detention reasons - outstanding papers, substance use, or other factors, so his family can act accordingly."

"Mozambican authorities like to exercise their power, even a bloody security guard will want to show you flames just because they can. It’s always best to have your embassy’s contact no on speed dial. Otherwise, it’s kaak straat for you."
