Samthing Soweto puts DJ Maphorisa on blast

Just over a week since the royalties drama between Mas Music and Samthing Soweto began, leading DJ Maphorisa to fight Mas' battles, the singer is finally ready to break his silence.

Porry was blasted on social media after he claimed that he not only gave Samthing Soweto royalties for free but also that he was instrumental in producing the singer's debut album, Isphithiphithi.

Taking to his Twitter (X) page, Samthing Soweto shot down Porry's claims and put the producer on blast, saying he only used the producer's popularity to help push his album sales:

"I paid Phori for my masters; I paid an amount he asked for at the time. Furthermore, I lied about his contributions to my project; he didn’t produce anything.

"I lied 'cause I believed it would help my album sell; I had very little confidence in my music selling without him as a producer. I worked with @mas_musiq, Howard and @KabzaDeSmall_, who produced 40-60% of my work.

"I lied 'cause I wanted to sell records. But I didn’t know that I’d pay for it with my hard-earned creative work and dignity."
