"I Lied" - Samthing Soweto Says DJ Maphorisa Didn't Produce Anything On His Project

By @SeptemberEleven on 09/10/2024 in News

While you were sleeping, Samthing Soweto was blowing Twitter up with a new thread where he admits to lying about DJ Maphorisa producing his 2019 album ‘Isiphithiphithi’. “He didn’t produce anything,” he wrote. 

The talented singer and songwriter says he lied about Porry’s involvement in order to sell records.

“The truth is, I had very little confidence in my music selling without him as producer. Seemed as if you, my audience, loved the idea of him being a super producer and I was not going to go against that. So I lied,” Samthing Soweto said. 

He went on to say the actual producers he worked with on the album were Kabza De Small, Mas Musiq, and Howard. 

He says he didn’t know he would pay for the lie by having the legendary producer and label head discredit his work and claim he fed him which is what Maphorisa said in his IG live rant last week.
