The amapiano community was rocked by rumors of brewing drama between two of its biggest stars, Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa. Reports emerged suggesting tension between the duo, with a close source shedding light on the alleged rift.
According to ZiMoja, a source close to the DJs revealed that the discord stemmed from DJ Maphorisa allegedly taking credit for Kabza De Small’s success. The source claimed that Maphorisa believed he played a pivotal role in Kabza’s rise to stardom, overlooking the latter’s hard work and dedication. The source elaborated:
“The drama between the two was mainly caused by Maphorisa, who claims to have made Kabza the superstar that he is today, forgetting that Kabza worked very hard to build a name for himself, even during the time he still lived in Alex.”
Furthermore, the situation reportedly escalated when Kabza De Small tied the knot with his wife, Kamogelo Moropa. “As someone he was closed to, he expected some support from Maphorisa, but he felt he didn’t get the kind of support he wanted from him. He felt some type of way about that, but didn’t want to start drama by confronting him, so he kept quiet and even now he is keeping his distance from him.” The third source revealed to Zimoja. Sources suggested that Kabza expected more support from Maphorisa during this milestone but felt disappointed by the lack thereof.
