Sol Phenduka Fires Back at DJ Maphorisa
DJ Maphorisa has been the center of attention on social media lately, thanks to allegations of exploitation. Amidst the drama, he claimed that he had essentially saved the Amapiano genre. Sol Phenduka, known for his bold opinions, stepped in to set the record straight. He emphasized that while DJ Maphorisa played a significant role in Amapiano's growth, he was not the originator. In a video shared on X by MDN News, Sol explained:
Phori stumbled upon the piano, but he didn’t invent it. Let’s get our facts straight. Even if the genre was growing at its own pace, Kabza De Small was already making waves with Amapiano before Phori entered the scene. DJ Maphorisa heard Kabza somewhere, was blown away, and decided to collaborate with him.
