Mzansi wishes AKA was here as DJ Maphorisa betrays the nation favouring Nigerians

American rapper Swae Lee who was unexpectedly criticised by angry tweeps from South Africa after tweeting about Amapiano and adding the Nigerian flag emoji to his tweet. Many locals took offence causing a Twitter storm. And now amapiano king, DJ Maphorisa has jumped on the bandwagon and encouraged South Africans to work with Nigeria since the country is more advanced with business and pop culture.

South Africans couldn’t be less impressed with Maphorisa and have now shared how they miss late rapper AKA who would’ve stood up for Mzansi.

The origins of amapiano has caused a grand debate on social media this week. This after US rapper Swae Lee used the Nigerian flag while praising the music genre.

South Africans were instantly riled up as they demanded credit.

On Wednesday this week, Prince Kaybee took to Twitter to tell South Africans to stop trying to “gatekeep culture”.

And now amapiano boss DJ Maphorisa has echoed Kaybee’s thoughts.

According to Phori, South Africans should be open to working with Nigerians because they are not only advanced when it comes to business, but also because they are more pop cultured.

Take a look at his clip below:
