Johannesburg – DJ Maphorisa has taken a dig at DJ Tira for beating him and Kabza De Small to the Best Kwaito Album award at the 2020 SA Music Awards.
Phori, as he is affectionately called by fans, still had reason to celebrate because Mlindo the Vocalist, who is signed to his label, won the Best Selling Artist award.
Maphorisa took that opportunity to direct a spicy clapback at the SAMAs, after having lost in his category.
The DJ figures while the panel can choose their winner according to whatever criteria and influence they feel is appropriate, numbers don’t lie.
“You couldn’t cheat us on this one. Big shout-out to the fans, thanks to everyone who is involved in this amazing project. Congrats my boy Mlindo. Let’s give them another one, I am humbled always and give thanks to the most high,” said Maphorisa.
DJ Tira put his win down to consistency.
“Thank you SAMA 26. My first SAMA, 21 Years later! Ngiyabonga mina. Wherever you are keep pushing. Don’t give up on your dream,” said Tira in a tweet.
