Netizens react to Sizwe Dhlomo showing love to DJ Maphorisa

Shortly after Sizwe Dhlomo shared a tweet about the Amapiano star Phori, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say:

@sto0018 said:

"Phori is a giant, yes, but 'greatest of his generation' is contestable... He’s more of a kingmaker than an uncontested king. The crown might sit heavier on Kabza or even Black Coffee when you factor in artistry, consistency, and global accolades."

@YoungKxnggg wrote:

"Nah, unless you put him as a villain, yes, he's the greatest villain of his time, but not as a good guy."

@dingiswayoo_ agreed with Sizwe:

"He is, looking at the number of people he put on since this whole movement started. Isandla sidlulikhanda Maphoyisa nkunzi."

"Everyone is making noise in the comments, but when it's time to show up in numbers for their favourite piano artists besides Kabza and Phori, they are dead."

@Kika97740658 commented:

"Phori is influential - o tshwere wave. When he touched Gqom, it took over the whole country. Same thing when he touched Hip Hop, now he is on Piano whole country is vibing on it. You can't deny his influence."

@mzidob1 mentioned:

"I have to agree, he has evolved from the kwaito era until now. You have to respect that."
