Nota appreciates DJ Maphorisa for gatekeeping Amapiano
Nota Baloyi weighs in on the conflict between DJ Maphorisa and Samthing Soweto over master ownership. The vocalist recently opened up about how the DJ has been exploiting him over the years, but Phori replied Samthing by blatantly stating that he can't own all the masters. Taking to Twitter, Nota who is known to be outspoken urged the men to make peace, but supported DJ Maphorisa. "He did produce, he might not have composed but those composers you found in his home, work for his production company… Why did you pay him if he wasn’t the producer? Don’t let the fans that weren’t there for you when you needed him gas you into discrediting him. Make peace guys!"

Nota further revealed that Phori's gatekeeping has kept the Amapiano genre safe. "If @DjMaphorisa wasn’t gate keeping, Amapiano would’ve been a sub-genre of AfroBeats by now. This is what I said in 2020, thank goodness our artist community headed the warning. Now let’s settle differences, get the business done fairly & clear the samples!"
