Scotts Maphuma says he doesn’t owe his fans
Scotts Maphuma opens up about why he doesn’t like taking pictures with fans.
The Amapiano star had sparked a stir weeks ago about his stance on fame.
In a recent interview on L-Tido’s podcast, Scotts said he has an issue with fans wanting to take pictures and videos with him.
“I’m an introvert, but I can be an extrovert. Like I’m an automatic. I’m a DSG gearbox. That’s why I have a problem with pictures and videos, because now I want my space,” he said.
Maphuma further explained that he expects fans to respect his decision.
“Music is like a shop. It’s the same as stocking your fruits and vegetables and placing them there. Then you wait for consumers to purchase. So, music is like that. No one forced another person to open a supermarket or to open a shop for people to come and buy from. So, I didn’t force you, and people didn’t force me to make music. So, me as well, if I don’t want to take a picture, then I don’t want to,” he added.
The Biri Marunga hitmaker also added that it was God who made him, hence no one can make his career fall.
“I don’t think I owe it to them. I don’t think any celebrity owes anyone. This is the world, my brother. I live according to God. No one made me reach the point I’m at today. And no one can remove me from the point I’m at today,” he said.
Scotts Maphuma’s explanations left him at the top of X trending list as Mzansi disapproved his claims.
