DJ Maphorisa calls out Shimza to start playing Amapiano

Amapiano royalty, DJ Maphorisa urges Shimza on twitter for the Afro House/Afro Tech DJ and producer to start playing Amapiano on his Mix Sets.

Shimza is a Multi-Award winner House Music DJ and producer, and recently he won the hearts of South Africans during lockdown with his sets on LockDownHouseParty

Events, and also by organizing online/streaming shows for his audience.

There is no known beef or issue between both DJs, but Phori Phori (Maphorisa) is interested in seeing Shimza play Amapiano songs on his sets.

Maphorisa took to twitter and this is what he asked his followers to do.

“Can we ask Shimza to start playing Amapiano on his sets please, I wanna see something”

However, some Maphorisa and Shimza fans got involved and Dragged the Amapiano DJ for calling out Shimza to do such thing.

One of the followers replied with:

“Bro not everybody is a fan of Amapiano”

Most comments spoke about how not everyone is a fan of Amapiano and that the genre is annoying and boring. Maphorisa was not down to the replies and responded to some of the criticism of the Genre.

“Amapiano is not for everyone i understand sharp, but why are u dancing to it when u drunk??”

Do you think that should Shimza start playing Amapiano? leave your opinion below.
