Mlindo The Vocalist speaks on Phori's influence

Mlindo The Vocalist has finally cleared DJ Maphorisa's name from the drama involving his former manager, Nyiko The Great.

The Egoli hitmaker was a recent guest on Piano Pulse, where he spoke positively about DJ Maphorisa. He stated that his beef was never with Phori; however, it was with Nyiko.

"When that beef happened, there was never a time where I spoke directly to Phori, it was always through that broer [Nyiko]," he said.

During lockdown, Mlindo had to move back home and saw his bank balance diminishing. One phone call to Phori changed things again for him, and he was sent R20,000 by the amapiano music pioneer.

"I had to call Phori and tell him that 'boyzin, I never had a fight with you. I need to come back to Joburg, I need to work. Then he sent me R20K," he shared.

How DJ Maphorisa helped Mlindo's career

DJ Maphorisa discovered Mlindo The Vocalist in 2018 and instantly gave him fame. The music producer featured in his music video for Ama Blesser, which thrust Mlindo into the spotlight.

He claimed his spot in the music industry with the release of his album Emakhaya, which was released in September 2018. The Port Shepstone-born native's career was on a roll as he revealed that he used to make R120,000 per weekend through gigs.

Sfiso, the presenter, was part of Mlindo's team, and he added that Mlindo actually made R250,000, and his take-home was R120K after expenses. They charged R60,000 per gig and R80,000 with a live band.

"The people always bash Phori for no reason. He has done a lot of good in the industry. Who will randomly send you R20,000.
