DJ Maphorisa, one of South Africa’s most celebrated Amapiano producers, recently found himself in a viral moment that left fans both amused and concerned. During a live performance, a bold female fan made headlines when she tried to kiss the artist while he was on stage.
The unexpected incident was captured on video and quickly circulated across social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), where it sparked widespread discussion and laughter. In the now-viral clip, DJ Maphorisa can be seen focused behind the decks, doing what he does best — entertaining the crowd. But in a sudden turn of events, a visibly excited female fan made her way to the front of the stage and leaned in, attempting to kiss him.
Caught off guard, Maphorisa’s reaction was both startled and composed. While he didn’t lash out or create a scene, it was clear that the encounter made him uncomfortable. The DJ swiftly moved back and signaled for space, allowing security and the crew to intervene.
Fans on social media had mixed reactions. Some found the moment hilarious, joking about the fan’s audacity and calling it a “true Phori groupie moment.” Others raised concerns about boundaries and respecting performers during live shows.
“People have no boundaries.” one user wrote. Another commented, “He did good, these girls have no respect for men,taking a picture is fine but wanting to kiss someone is wild.”
This isn’t the first time Maphorisa has gone viral for fan-related content, but this particular incident reignites the conversation about fan conduct at live events. Artists are often expected to engage and interact with their supporters, but there’s a line — and many agree this fan crossed it.
Despite the awkward moment, DJ Maphorisa continued with his set like a seasoned professional, keeping the vibe going and the crowd entertained. Known for his calm demeanor and massive contributions to the Amapiano movement, he once again showed why he remains one of Mzansi’s most respected musical figures.
As the video continues to trend, many fans are hoping this becomes a learning moment about respecting personal space, even in high-energy environments like concerts.
