DJ Maphorisa’s Expensive Afronation Outfit Gets Mzansi Talking: “He Still Looks Broke”

• DJ Maphorisa was filmed at the Afronation event in Portugal, showing off his pricey outfit pieces
• Known for his expensive taste and love for the finer things in life, Porry spares no expense for luxury items, and his latest look left tongues wagging
• However, instead of admiring his expensive style, social media users dragged Maphorisa for boasting about his pricey fit

DJ Maphorisa brought his signature flair to Afronation Portugal, but this time it was his wardrobe that got people talking.

On 5 July 2026, a video of the star doing an enthusiastic "fit check" at the festival began circulating online, and the internet had plenty to say.

The Scorpion Kings producer was buzzing with excitement as he shared the details for each item. His Chrome Hearts t-shirt alone set him back R25,700, paired with a matching Chrome Hearts cap valued at R16,000.

He rounded out the look with R7,740 leather Bottega Veneta shorts, R7,500 Prada shades, Chrome Hearts socks, Jordan sneakers, his ever-present R1 million Rolex and signature gold grills.

Social media rates DJ Maphorisa's look

This is nothing new for Maphorisa, who has long been known for his appetite for luxury. From jaw-dropping shopping hauls to an enviable car collection, Phori has never been shy about spending big. Fans, however, are increasingly divided on whether the bragging matches the aesthetic.

Social media was largely unmoved by the lavish display, with many users arguing that the expensive labels did little to elevate the overall look.

AndyPhylany said:

"One thing about bro, he'll wear the most expensive brands but still look broke and poor."

modisemoletsane dragged DJ Maphorisa, writing:

"He's too old to be doing that; wear your expensive clothes without bragging."

Not everyone was ready to throw shade, though. Some users offered a more sympathetic reading of his behaviour.
