DJ Maphorisa gets cancelled due to his lack of professionalism towards the organisers of the Afropiano Festival.
On Wednesday, the South African DJ slammed the lineup announced by the organisers.
Maphorisa whose real name is Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe said he and his artists will not be performing at the fest.
“I’m not performing will be in Malawi 🇲🇼 @afropianofest Totally disrespectful especially a promoter coming from outside the country n trying to make money with us. All my artists are not attending this event @niapearlza @tylericu. Hope they paid @focalistic,” he wrote.

Afropiano fest released a statement and receipts to prove that Maphorisa has been paid.
“It has come to our attention that one fo the acts we booked (DJ Maphorisa) paid and received a contract from his management for our closing party at the one club on Sunday 22nd has decided to deny any knowledge of the booking and has gone on social media to defame our character with a hate speech even though he is fully aware of the booking and accepted the booking,” reads the statement.
However, due to his unprofessionalism, the organisers removed him from the lineup and will open a case against him.
“We cannot associate with this type of unprofessionalism and have decided to remove him from our line up with immediate effect. We will take every necessary legal steps to ensure this unprofessionalism is dealt with.”
