South Africa - The entertainment industry is a very volatile industry, more so when you have multitalented individuals who have pioneered genres and sounds.
Ego, Fragility, and Feirce Competition become character, and at best a tweet or post can spark a rift, which can last long or longer, as is the case with Pioneers, Djs, Producers and Composers Maphorisa and Prince Kaybee who have been at each other's throats for the longest of times.
The two have been at it with Streams, Cars, Beats, who pioneered what, and whenever the opportunity arises the two leaders of South Africa's dance scene throw shade at each other, on February Dj Maphorisa came under fire over a tweet that said "When you record music on my computer, my studio, with my electricity. That sh*t is mine. It belongs to me, he said.
Previously Maphorisa was accused of underworking in studio and taking all credit over the original producers work, the Rapper, Songwriter and Producer said by using his resources that permitts him to be listed as a producer on any song produced in his studio, Businessman and Radio Presenter Dj Sbu supported this statement.
A tweet followed, by Prince Kaybee who responded and said that making music was a collaborative effort and providing artists with food or lights should not equate to him owning the work.
Ngwana Mani went ahead and took a jab at Prince Kaybee citing Jealousy, Evilness and Irrelevance in the industry with the inability to acclimitize with the forever changing times of music, he then called Prince Kaybee a Pornstar.
In retaliation, Prince called Phori an Abuser referencing the Thuli Phongolo abuse case against boyfriend Maphorisa.
Yesterday the beef resurfaced again after a tweet by Chris Excel 102 who has tweeted countless times about Phori cheating his artists. Podcasters Sol-Phenduka and MacG have shared the same sentiments too.
Prince Kaybee shared the tweet and said! "Bari eo e reka motlakase fela…, I wonder ba etsa jwang ka loadshedding?
Meanwhile twitter investigators suggests there is beef between Maphorisa and his ally Kabza De Small, the rumours began when people started noticing the absence of both Djs at each other's gigs.
Chris Excel 102 tweeted yesterday "It’s been a month now and we haven’t seen Maphorisa hanging out with Kabza, and y’all are still don’t believe that there’s no beef?
"I went to Saudi Arabia for a show and after we landed in a private airport, I was denied entrance because they said I had jewelry worth over $25k or something like that.
I didn't understand what they was trying to say so I got angry and went back to my plane and wanted to leave, but a guy walked into the plane and said his Excellency heard what happened and got pissed and told me to go walk right through. When I was walking through everybody in the airport was like statues and saying nothing.
I arrived at my hotel room, he texted me and said he was angry about what happened and wanted to come apologize to me in person so I said no problem. He walked in and he said "Jewelry over $25k? I bring you gift over $25k" he made his homie open the gift and it was a Franck Muller watch.
That sh*t is worth way over $25k. After he was leaving the room, he said, ‘oh, I forgot, Lamborghini or Ferrari?’ I thought it was a general question. I said ‘Lamborghini’— I thought he was asking me which one was better. Then he asked, ‘what color?’ I said ‘black.’
He said, ‘In front of your house in three weeks. I’m very sorry for this.' I was still thinking that he was joking too. I said Lamborghini truck I heard they are new. I got that like two or three days ago! Those guys are f*cken rich”
