In true Maphorisa essence, Nota burst the singer's bubble by revealing that Porry did, in fact, contribute to the music and urged him not to get a big head because of his fans:

"He did produce. He might not have composed, but those composers you found in his home, work for his production company. Why did you pay him if he wasn’t the producer? Don’t let the fans who weren’t there for you when you needed him gas you into discrediting him. Make peace, guys!"

Mzansi reacts to Nota Baloyi's claims

Netizens weighed in on Nota's comments, with some taking Porry's side and blasting Samthing Soweto:

love_victim said:

"The problem with people here is that they don't understand the difference between producing and composing; that includes Samthing Soweto. Maphorisa is the producer of all the work done in his studios. He owns the means of production. Therefore, he owns the produce."

CalvinHlogie wrote:

"Sam paid Phori to make sales, then he came back and complained as if Maphorisa pointed a gun at his head to feature him. Very foolish guy, he just wanted to tarnish Maphorisa's image, what a loser."

khamo____ posted:

"Samthing Soweto uses prison tactics to negotiate."

Poifetso349 responded:

"He is letting foolish fans make him think he is bigger than Porry."

Meanwhile, others are committed to cancelling Porry, saying he has never played fair:

njajidlamini said:

"He's acknowledging Phori for his work by admitting that he paid him. He's just addressing the fact that Phori acted like he gave the masters for mahala."

prtty444hhuun dragged Nota:

"You don’t even know when piano started; you should sit this one out. Phori is wrong."
