DJ Maphorisa has broken his silence regarding G Mashego’s woes about allegedly not receiving money for his involvement in the hit songBiri Marung. Maphorisa went live on Tuesday to respond to the allegations. “How do you know I’m not paying people?
Where do you find the proof of those [claims] that I don’t pay royalties? Who told you that? Did you do research, or did you just hear one small boy say that and trend?
Maphorisa, who was signed to Oskido’s record label Kalawa Jazmee Records before establishing his own record label Blaqboy Music early in his career, reflected on how he served as a producer and said he paid his dues. “Unfortunately for you guys to take me down, you have to work hard.

“I’ve worked hard to get to where I am, and it was painful because I didn’t take the shortcut. I’ve seen a lot of people take shortcuts. I paid my dues.
I was signed under Kalawa. You’ve never heard me say any bad sh*t about Kalawa. “I still work with them now.
Oskido still comes to get advice from me because the game has changed. That’s why I can go to Kabza and get advice from him about music or whatever. The game changes.
That’s why I work with young [people]. I was young before. You guys forget I was young before. I was in my 20s when I was at Kalawa; I was doing the most there.”
