DJ Maphorisa and Scotts Maphuma are working hard to sanitise the Amapiano star's public image with a new song, but will that be enough to repair the damage he has done to his fanbase?

DJ Maphorisa joins Scotts Maphuma in studio

While swimming in the sea of cancellation, it seems Scotts Maphuma is attempting to win back his supporters with the one thing that won them over in the first place, music.

The disgraced Amapiano star is facing public criticism over his snide remarks about not taking pictures with his fans and being too famous for his own good.

He recently hit the studio with DJ Maphorisa to make a song out of his famous "Hao kgonahale" comment from his viral rant after being accused of swindling Samthing Soweto.

Playing on the title of the song, it seems Maphuma and Maphorisa are alluding to the idea that the young hitmaker is immune to cancel culture.

Nevertheless, the Amapiano star was forced to humble himself and apologise to his fans for his foul behaviour, but even that wasn't enough for them, and things went from bad to worse.

In their IG live stream, the pair are seen in Porry's studio jamming to their new song while comments from social media users fly across the screen. PianoConnectSA shared the recording:
