Mzansi has been buzzing over an unearthed video of Kabza De Small exposing DJ Maphorisa’s questionable business practices, specifically regarding music royalties. The resurfaced clip shows Kabza recalling an incident where Maphorisa released Kabza’s songs without his consent, sparking heated discussions in light of Maphorisa’s ongoing royalties drama with other artists.
The video, taken from Kabza De Small’s interview with Black Crown, has been making rounds on social media, adding fuel to the already controversial royalties scandal involving Maphorisa. Just over a week after singer Samthing Soweto accused DJ Maphorisa of withholding royalties from their collaboration, Kabza’s revelations have further tarnished Maphorisa’s reputation.
In the interview, Kabza De Small shared how DJ Maphorisa, his long-time collaborator and Scorpion Kings partner, allegedly took advantage of him at the peak of his career. Kabza explained how he had been working on his own album, only for Maphorisa to take ownership of the project. “We were working on my album, which was going to be released. The next thing I knew, he went to L.A., uploaded my music, and named it Scorpion Kings,” Kabza revealed in the clip.
While Kabza and Maphorisa have maintained a strong professional relationship, this revelation has shed light on Maphorisa’s history of alleged exploitation. Fans were quick to point out that this wasn’t the first time Maphorisa had been accused of unfair business dealings. Multiple artists, including Samthing Soweto, have claimed that the DJ has withheld royalties or taken undue credit for their work.
Social media erupted with reactions, as many criticized Maphorisa for taking advantage of the musicians he works with. Fans expressed disappointment that an artist as established as Maphorisa would engage in such practices, while others praised Kabza for finally speaking out about the issue.
As the royalties dispute continues to unfold, this latest revelation has further solidified the perception that DJ Maphorisa has a history of exploiting his collaborators for personal gain. Kabza De Small’s admission has only fueled the controversy, and many are now calling for more transparency and fairness in the South African music industry.
