Amapiano heavyweight DJ Maphorisa has finally addressed ongoing rumours that he and Kabza De Small, his partner in the iconic Scorpion Kings duo, have gone their separate ways. In true Phori style, the producer didn’t just deny the claims — he did it with humour that left fans in stitches.
A video making rounds on X (formerly Twitter) shows DJ Maphorisa responding to a fan’s question during a live session. With his signature swagger and witty delivery, the star seemed genuinely amused by the rumours, asking, “Where are you guys getting this from?” His reaction sparked laughter among fans and quickly went viral, with many praising him for addressing the speculation in such a lighthearted yet clear way.
The rumour mill started turning shortly after the duo’s booking fee was allegedly leaked online, leading some fans to speculate that there might be tension between the two Amapiano giants. Whispers of a possible fallout gained momentum, especially since the pair haven’t released music together since 2023’s “The Konka Mixtape”, with both artists focusing more on their individual projects over the past year.
But Maphorisa’s latest comments have thrown cold water on the split claims. Known for their undeniable chemistry and countless chart-topping hits, the Scorpion Kings remain one of the most influential duos in South African music. From “Lorch” to “Phoyisa”, their collaborative work has shaped the sound of modern Amapiano and inspired a new generation of artists.
Fans were relieved to hear that there is no bad blood between the two. Some even suggested that the pair might be teasing the public as part of a rollout for a new project — especially since both Kabza and Maphorisa recently posted cryptic messages on social media using the hashtag #KingsWillRise.
Whether a new Scorpion Kings project is on the horizon or not, one thing is clear: DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small remain a united force in Amapiano. And as long as they’re vibing, the genre’s future looks bright.
