A viral photo of DJ Maphorisa's luxurious Rolex sharply divided fans and critics alike, turning the accessory into a symbol of financial controversy.

On Tuesday, 18 November 2025, Twitter (X) user MDNnewss shared a new picture of Maphorisa showing off his wristwatch, gold "OVI" grills and Cuban-link necklace.

The latest display of his wealth, however, received mixed reactions from the online community, who shared their unfiltered opinions about Porry's controversial wealth.
