Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa’s private shopping in Louis Vuitton store sparks a stir
South Africa finest musicians, Scorpion Kings – DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small are not only shutting down shows but also stores owned by luxury brands.
The duo recently found themselves at the center of controversy after they shut down a Louis Vuitton store in London for a private shopping experience.
The Scorpion Kings are known for their contributions to the Amapiano music genre and have always embraced a lavish lifestyle, but this time, their actions sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
Fans and critics alike took to social media to express their disapproval, accusing the DJs of being out of touch with the economic realities facing many of their supporters.
“Rich black people are pathetic. All they do is this pathetic show-off, next thing they’ll be pleading poverty and asking for donations. While their white peers are bush building legacies,” an X user wrote.
“This is definitely not something to be shown. Yes, they work hard for their money. We have an LV in SA manned by SAs. They could easily shop here, contribute to the SA economy, and pay tips to SA LV employees. One wonder if they even contribute to communities where they come from?” another user wrote.
“All good and well, it’s their money. However, for me, I think it would be even doper if I could see them do this with our SA brands like David Tale or Maxhosa or Rich Mnisi etc …..If they’ve done that before well then great,” another Twitter user wrote.
