DJ Maphorisa was immediately criticised by Amapiano fans for alleged exploitation, prompting a response from the record producer.

Maphorisa spoke highly of himself, downplaying any wrongdoing while criticising the lack of support he received in SA despite "all I've done for the movement".

It didn't take long for an interested X user to see the funny side of the rant and use an excerpt from his Insta video to make a point.

That point happened to be about a question commonly asked during job interviews.

X user @FunkySowetan captioned the five-second snippet:

"Please tell us why you want to leave your current role and organisation?"

Funnily, the supposed response was where Maphorisa said:

"Ba mfa di cente kwale. Tshelete e ba mfang yone ga e dire silo (I'm getting a pittance there, and I can hardly do anything with the money)."
