Award-winning musician and music producer DJ Maphorisa has finally addressed Biri Marung hitmaker Tebogo G Mashego, who previously dragged him on social media.

The popular music producer, who recently flaunted his Goyard luggage, revealed on social media that he's not threatened by Mashego.

Entertainment channel PianoConnect shared a clip on its X account of Maphorisa speaking about Tebogo G Mashego on Tuesday, 6 January 2026.

In the video, Maphorisa says Mashego swore at him and made the whole world happy, but he (Maphorisa) is rising above it and is only going up.

The Amapiano hitmaker also says Mashego is a one-hit maker, who didn't even write one verse on the hit song Biri Marung.
