He went on to compare Samthing Soweto to Sir Trill, another artist who accused Porry of exploitation, suggesting that both artists leave a trail of broken relationships wherever they go. Here’s what Maphorisa had to say:
“We’ll see who’ll work with him. He’s just like Sir Trill; they plant rotten potatoes everywhere they go. They don’t know anything, and they’re not business-minded; talent won’t help you, bro. They took your style and replaced you because you have an attitude.”
