DJ Maphorisa, also known as Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe, is currently embroiled in a feud with DJ and podcaster MacG over-exploitation claims.
The record producer and label boss recently took to Instagram to assert his ownership of any music recorded in his studio, clarifying that when artists use his computer, studio, and electricity, the music belongs to him.
These revelations have sparked a debate about Maphorisa’s business practices, further fueling rumours of artist exploitation.
In response to the controversy and the video featuring Tyla, fans have taken to social media to throw some witty shade at DJ Maphorisa. One concerned fan jokingly warned Tyla, “Don’t eat the Nandos, Tyla!! Use your own laptop, electricity, and microphone.”
Another user chimed in, saying, “Then she gets nothing 😂 after him buying McDonald’s and a cold drink in the studio.” And of course, there’s the fan who hopes Tyla has her studio.
While the comments on social media are all in good fun, it’s evident that Maphorisa’s recent statements have struck a nerve with fans and music enthusiasts. The controversy surrounding his business practices has raised concerns about artist exploitation in the industry.
Whether or not Tyla and Maphorisa are collaborating on new music remains to be seen. Only time will tell. But one thing is certain, fans will be keeping a close eye on this potential collaboration.
