Gqom Music producer, DJ Catzico’s Open Letter To DJ Maphorisa Over music Sabotage “Crook & A Snake”
Gqom Music producer, DJ Catzico’s Open Letter To DJ Maphorisa Over music Sabotage “Crook & A Snake” – The Durban-based Gqom and house music producer, in the letter, alleges that DJ Maphorisa enticed them with an incredible deal that was difficult not to accept.
Although it appears according to the claims his strategy was to obliterate and undermine their body of work (songs) to obviously increase his credibility while. It appears though the establishment of their relationship was mutual with a similar goal to create and produce beautiful soundtracks.
Check the below posts for what was still a blissfull working relationship, prior to things turning sour.
“Dude I don’t wanna lie at first I liked you, you were my role model but now since I know who you really are, I can’t say the same thing. First, you told Pato that you produced Available while it was us. Then artwork was changed to our names after we talked with him.
After that everything went south:
“Then you made me cancel the song Ndizamshini because you said we were going to drop Location, of which you also sabotaged by lying to us that you informed Pato and Dladla about the release, of which you didn’t. Their companies felt disrespected and we had to cancel the song’s release,” wrote DJ Catzico.
“You told them to remove them (faces on the cover) and also picked songs that we didn’t agree on, old songs that we had already canceled and left our new ones. You sabotaged the whole project and that’s when we decided to leave your company. You refused for us to leave your company and we had to fight with you for six months every week because we did all your tv adverts, we have a lot of ideas that you still wanted to use, that’s why you sabotaged all our songs because you took ideas from them and you’re still stealing from us even when we are no longer under you,” claims DJ Catzico.
According to the DJ’s claims, a large fraction of DJ Maphorisa’s songs have their lines/ideas on them, attributing the old ones, and stated that he will give it to the public if push comes to shove.
He detailed in the narrative above that now that they have advertised their new single, Maphorisa is portraying envious tendencies, in other terms (he is breathing through the wound,) he is showcasing such cruel motives by updating and informing his Twitter audience, telling them that “Gqom is dead“… well, they reverted to him on WhatsApp to reprimand him, telling him to stop shading their work.
“You didn’t discover me when you asked me to join your team, I already had my music playlisted on the radio. We are no longer under you but understand that we are still pushing… We are not afraid of you because wasithola sivele siphusha (you got us hustling). Stop dissing Durban and our sound because we made you who you are today and KZN contributed a lot on your success, you’re ungrateful??,” he wrote.
