DJ Maphorisa has been accused by other artists, including amapiano vocalist, Sir Trill, of not being adequately paid despite being featured prominently in some of Maphorisa’s chart-topping songs.

One of the leading figures in Amapiano, DJ Maphorisa recently took to his social media to admonish Nigerian DJs on how best to play South African Amapiano songs.

Spotify’s 2025 Global Impact List showcases 30 South African tracks that have gained major traction worldwide, with Tyla and DJ Maphorisa leading the pack.
