Award-winning Amapiano producer DJ Maphorisa is making headlines again, but this time it’s not for a chart-topping hit. Instead, the music star is trending after a public confrontation with fellow producer Shaun 101, captured in a now-viral video.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at an undisclosed nightclub, where Maphorisa was reportedly enjoying the night with Amapiano heavyweights Kabza De Small, Kelvin Momo, and Shaun 101 himself.
What started as a chill evening quickly spiraled when Maphorisa and Shaun 101 were seen in a heated exchange. In the clip shared by @Maluda012 on X, Maphorisa is visibly agitated, interrupting his own spliff roll to confront Shaun 101, pointing and shouting in frustration.
Although the situation didn’t escalate to physical violence, the intensity of the moment shocked fans—especially since Maphorisa is known for venting his frustrations online rather than in person.
“He really said, ‘Not now, vibes must wait,’” one user joked on X, referencing how passionately Phori paused his chill to argue.
The altercation was seemingly diffused before it turned physical, likely thanks to the presence of other collaborators. While the exact cause of the fallout remains unknown, fans were quick to speculate.
Some took the serious route, expressing concern over tensions in the Amapiano scene. Others leaned into humor, turning the moment into memes about “serious beef in soft settings.”
Despite the drama, neither DJ Maphorisa nor Shaun 101 has publicly addressed the incident, leaving fans to guess whether this was just a one-off disagreement or signs of deeper friction.
For now, social media continues to buzz with reactions, while fans hope their favorites patch things up behind the scenes.
