However, Focalistic had a private conversation with Phori on Instagram confirming if whether it was him behind the account; Maphorisa instead denied ever having created another Twitter account after his official account was suspended. He confirmed that the Twitter account is fake and not his. Focalistic has urged fans to stop following the account stating that Phori will indeed make a return. See tweet:
In case you missed it, Maphorisa mentioned that he makes use of social media to make songs blow up. “How it usually happens is that we’ll either do an ordinary or exclusive mix, then publish it. People start paying attention to it — some music bloggers will distribute it on their blogs, websites and YouTube channels. That’s generally how our songs start growing. This usually helps us measure a track’s potential because, the truth of the matter is that, we have a lot of songs but not all of them are going to be massive hits. There’s a trend to this thing! Most songs that made it big were because someone posted a video of, either, myself or Kabza DJing or dancing to it. Social media dance challenges also help songs blow up. Lastly, a big shout out to TikTok for always putting us on!”
