Clearly, the compliment didn't sit well with many South African music lovers, who claimed that without the number of great artists the Abalele hitmaker worked with, he wouldn't have had those bangers. Twitter user @Sir_Ceelo is one of the few brave enough to utter the following words in a quote tweet:

"He doesn't have a song, always riding people's coat tails, all his songs ke group work, show me a hit that is only him."

Zingah hit back at the tweep, saying:

"You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re just saying things you’ve heard other people say."

Maphorisa denies gatekeeping Amapiano

In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that DJ Maphorisa responded to allegations against him that he tends not to put other amapiano artists' careers. Mzansi DJ Maphorisa explained to everyone how things work in Amapiano, but many were left unconvinced.

DJ Maphorisa's response attracted Nigerians who defended Davido, who also had a Twitter spat with DJ Maphorisa over the alleged gatekeeping that does.

In the post, Maphorisa tweeted he is not a gatekeeper because Amapiano is all about doing everything independently.
