Scotts Maphuma lashes at promoters

It all started when Scotts Maphuma did not pitch for his performance at a party in Uganda. Fans only got to hear the side of the promoters, who went on a rant about his unprofessionalism. However, he finally clapped back and defended his name.

Scotts, who recently had to answer questions about his nationality, claimed that payment issues, as well as planning irregularities, were the main cause of this.

"I'm not gonna come there for work. I will only come here to chill. Fight the guy who made the event because he didn't pay me. How can I come there?" he asked. "I'm the last person you would want to fight in the entertainment world," Scotts warned.

The situation escalated and got so intense that his manager was allegedly held hostage, according to Yebo Lapho hitmaker.

"Now, you want to hold my manager hostage. For what? Why did you sign the contract?" he questioned. "Today, you want to tell people that I don't attend gigs."

He continued by saying he would refund them so his manager could get released.
