@OttomaticSA said:
“Lol, people are really distorting the facts with this. The original post explained it. This is like going to Kunye and wanting to play piano. These guys weren't listening to amapiano in the first place. It’s one DJ that came in and tried to sneak a track and was reprimanded this way.”

“It was bound to happen though it actually took longer than I expected… I don’t watch music channels anymore for almost a year now because of the same reason. As for going out, I don’t even bother unless it’s a gig.”
@Ruddy_SA asked:
“Bathe bafunani?”

“Hai no... re ka fela maan. You get to groove around bo 6 and they are already playing it till the venue close.”

“Deep house is the real thing.”
Amapiano: South Africa's 'pumping' music gift from township to the globe
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Manchester United's Paul Pogba, fresh from a haircut, rhythmically juts out his chin to the catchy sounds of amapiano: the South African music that has catapulted across the world.
Ameno, the song in Pogba's clip, has 10 billion views on TikTok alone, powered by dance challenges that Shaquille O’Neal, Janet Jackson, and Shakira couldn't resist.
Its catchy phrase, "You want to bamba," in the recomposed version by Nigerian rapper Goya Menor, remixed by a Ghanaian producer based in the United States, uses sounds that were first played in South African clubs. It is often heard blasting everywhere from houses, car speakers at traffic lights and parties.
