In the midst of the Chris Brown concert boycott, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have found themselves caught in the crossfire. Netizens are calling out these artists, claiming they deserve the same level of scrutiny as Chris Brown. It’s a heated debate, and emotions are running high on social media.
Why Are DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small Being Called Out?
As the Chris Brown concert boycott gains momentum, the Scorpion Kings—DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small—are being dragged into the controversy. The upcoming concert, which was eagerly anticipated by fans, is now under fire from anti-gender-based violence activists. These groups argue that Chris Brown’s history of domestic violence makes him an unsuitable performer in South Africa. The backlash has sparked discussions about how consistently these activists address allegations of misconduct by local artists.
According to Briefly News, Women For Change initiated a petition to ban Chris Brown from entering the country. This move has stirred up a storm of opinions online, with some supporting the activists and others accusing them of hypocrisy. One user, politelseheri, pointed out that several local artists accused of misconduct have been allowed to thrive without facing similar consequences. They specifically mentioned DJ Maphorisa, referencing his alleged involvement in an assault scandal with Thuli Phongolo. Kabza De Small was also named, with accusations that he has dated underage girls.

“Week after week, these people are sharing spaces with you, and y’all are buying tickets to events they’re involved in. Kabza was dating little girls, then all of a sudden he’s ‘married,’ but asikho lapho. Allegedly and stuff.”
The conversation extends beyond just these two artists. Users have also named Busta 929, who faces similar accusations, adding fuel to the fire.
Netizens React to the Scorpion Kings Backlash
The backlash against DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small has sparked a range of reactions from netizens. Many are demanding consistency from GBV activists, pointing out that local offenders often escape scrutiny. Here’s what people are saying:

“Exactly my chat. We have our own celebrities who have had cases before, and yet they still sell out concerts.”
leo_magnito added:
“They even ignore their abusive family members, but they’re here telling people how to spend their money.”

“Hebun, what did Kabza do? You people have lost your minds.”
LaMandamane echoed this sentiment:
