Samthing Soweto reacts to not being credit by Dj Maphorisa on the new song

DJ Maphorisa is facing criticism for not crediting Samthing Soweto on his new song “Amalanga Awafani.” Samthing Soweto, known for his soothing vocals, was instrumental in the creation of the track, and many fans feel he should have been acknowledged for his role.

The backlash centers around the broader issue of artist recognition and credit within the music industry.

Following the revelation, Samthing Soweto reacted with a broken heart emoji, however, DJ Maphorisa has yet to address the controversy publicly.

This backlash  is part of a broader pattern of similar accusations against DJ Maphorisa. In the past, other artists have also accused Maphorisa of not giving proper credit for their contributions.

One notable instance involved producer and songwriter Kabza De Small, who, alongside Maphorisa, has been involved in various collaborations. Kabza De Small and other collaborators have previously raised concerns about inadequate acknowledgment of their work on projects that gained significant popularity.

Additionally, there were reports of disagreements with artists like Sha Sha, who was featured on several tracks produced by Maphorisa but felt her role was not sufficiently highlighted.

These ongoing issues reflect a larger conversation about artist recognition and the need for clearer and more respectful collaboration practices in the music industry.
