In a plot twist no one saw coming, Amapiano artist Scotts Maphuma was spotted partying in Tembisa with none other than former Geordie Shore star Scotty T. The two were seen having the time of their lives during a club gig at The Hang Awt on 20 May 2024, sparking excitement, confusion, and endless speculation among fans.
Scotts Maphuma, who has faced his share of controversy in recent months, seems to be bouncing back stronger than ever—this time, with a surprise international connection. Several videos making the rounds on social media show Maphuma behind the decks, while Scotty T, real name Scott Timlin, can be seen dancing in the crowd and even hopping on stage during the DJ’s set. The British TV personality shared the scenes to his Instagram story, giving his UK followers a taste of the electrifying South African nightlife.
Scotty T is widely known for his wild antics on MTV’s Geordie Shore, where he was a fan favourite from 2012 to 2019. Since then, he’s transitioned into a career as a digital influencer, business partner, and—most recently—an NFT and crypto enthusiast. His visit to Johannesburg was primarily for business, attending the launch of Dr Green, a blockchain-powered flower delivery service that brands itself as the first legal platform of its kind. The launch took place on 7 May, but Scotty decided to extend his trip, clearly captivated by the local vibe.
Fans were stunned to see him appear at a local hotspot like The Hang Awt, and even more surprised to see him vibe so easily with Maphuma. Social media lit up with reactions ranging from, “I’ve been using the internet for many, many years now, and this has to be the most random thing I’ve ever seen on these streets,” to “Lol, what?! This is so random. Of all people to end up in Tembisa of all places, and my favourite club.”
Though it’s unclear whether the two plan to collaborate beyond partying, one thing is certain: the unexpected encounter has brought a lot of attention to both their names, proving that unpredictable moments can be the biggest game changers.
With Scotty T’s continued interest in South Africa and Scotts Maphuma’s undeniable flair for grabbing headlines, this unlikely duo might just be the start of something more.
