Let’s face it, folks—when drama hits the South African music scene, everyone tunes in. And now, Nota Baloyi has entered the ring, offering his take on the ongoing saga between DJ Maphorisa and Samthing Soweto. This isn’t just a casual disagreement; it’s a battle over royalties, production credits, and who really deserves the credit for the music that made Samthing Soweto a household name.
Nota Baloyi Steps In
As the feud between DJ Maphorisa and Samthing Soweto continues to escalate, the music industry and fans alike are picking sides. Nota Baloyi, known for his no-nonsense approach, decided to weigh in on the matter. His comments came just as Samthing Soweto claimed that DJ Maphorisa had nothing to do with his music production.
Nota didn’t hold back. He reminded everyone that DJ Maphorisa, or Porry as he’s affectionately called, did indeed contribute to the music. Nota pointed out that even if DJ Maphorisa wasn’t the one composing every note, the composers working under his roof were part of his production company. He questioned why Samthing Soweto would pay DJ Maphorisa if he truly believed the producer had nothing to do with the music. Nota urged Samthing Soweto not to let his fans’ opinions cloud his judgment:

"He did produce. He might not have composed, but those composers you found in his home work for his production company. Why did you pay him if he wasn’t the producer? Don’t let the fans who weren’t there for you when you needed him sway you into discrediting him. Make peace, guys!"
Mzansi Reacts to Nota Baloyi’s Comments
As you can imagine, Nota’s words sparked a flurry of reactions across social media. Some fans were quick to jump on DJ Maphorisa’s side, defending him against Samthing Soweto’s claims. Here’s what some of them had to say:
love_victim summed it up perfectly:
"The problem with people here is that they don’t understand the difference between producing and composing; that includes Samthing Soweto. Maphorisa is the producer of all the work done in his studios. He owns the means of production. Therefore, he owns the produce."
CalvinHlogie wasn’t shy about calling out Samthing Soweto:
"Sam paid Phori to make sales, then he came back and complained as if Maphorisa pointed a gun at his head to feature him. Very foolish guy, he just wanted to tarnish Maphorisa’s image, what a loser."
khamo____ added a unique perspective:
"Samthing Soweto uses prison tactics to negotiate."
Poifetso349 echoed similar sentiments:
"He is letting foolish fans make him think he is bigger than Porry."
But not everyone agreed with Nota. Some fans stood firmly behind Samthing Soweto, arguing that DJ Maphorisa hasn’t always played fair. njajidlamini defended the singer:

"He’s acknowledging Phori for his work by admitting that he paid him. He’s just addressing the fact that Phori acted like he gave the masters for free."
prtty444hhuun took aim at Nota himself:
"You don’t even know when piano started; you should sit this one out. Phori is wrong."
DJ Maphorisa Fires Back
Before Nota’s comments hit the airwaves, DJ Maphorisa had already taken to social media to address the drama with Samthing Soweto. In a previous report by Briefly News, DJ Maphorisa accused Samthing Soweto of trying to paint himself as a saint while allegedly robbing everyone around him. It’s clear that both artists have strong feelings about the situation, and the feud doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
So, where does this leave us? The debate rages on, with fans and industry insiders taking sides. Whether it’s about production credits, royalties, or egos, one thing’s for sure: this feud has the entire music world talking.
