Tebogo G Mashego has reignited his long-running feud with DJ Maphorisa after making fresh claims about the money generated by the recent Scorpion Kings event.
The “Biri Marung” hitmaker took to social media with a new video on Sunday, 20 September 2026, claiming that the earnings from the Scorpion Kings event belong to him. His latest remarks have once again put his dispute with Maphorisa in the spotlight, with Mzansi divided over the ongoing back-and-forth between the two Amapiano figures.
In the video, Mashego appears outdoors with a group of friends, speaking directly into a handheld camera in a relaxed, vlog-style setting. The clip appears to have been filmed in a residential neighbourhood, with dirt roads and parked vehicles visible in the background.
While addressing the camera, Mashego made claims regarding the money associated with the Scorpion Kings event. His comments quickly caught the attention of fans, particularly because of his existing dispute with Maphorisa over the hit song that helped establish his name in the Amapiano scene.
Mashego has previously raised concerns about royalties connected to “Biri Marung,” a song that became one of the notable releases associated with his rise to prominence. His latest video has therefore added another chapter to a disagreement that has continued to generate discussion among music fans.
Maphorisa has also previously addressed the dispute publicly. During a livestream, the Amapiano heavyweight responded to Mashego and claimed that the singer had publicly insulted him while he continued to progress with his own career.
Maphorisa further alleged that Mashego is a one-hit artist and claimed that he did not write a verse on “Biri Marung.” Those remarks formed part of Maphorisa’s response to Mashego’s ongoing demands for a share connected to the song.
The latest development has once again divided social media users. Some fans have expressed support for Mashego and his continued efforts to address what he believes he is owed, while others have questioned his approach and sided with Maphorisa.
As the debate continues, Mashego’s latest claims have ensured that his long-running dispute with Maphorisa remains firmly in the public eye. For now, the competing claims from the two artists continue to fuel conversations about ownership, royalties and the financial relationships behind some of Amapiano’s biggest records and events.
