It surfaced just as the tension between Maphorisa and G Mashego intensifies, with the young producer continuously insulting Porry on social media.
According to Mashego, Madumane "scammed" him out of his royalties for Biri Marung, claiming that the song made millions and thus, he is entitled to his share.
Meanwhile, with a new Maphorisa video brought to their attention, online users weighed in on the veteran producer's attitude towards the ongoing social media backlash.
