In a recent cooking video shared on social media, DJ Maphorisa found himself facing a wave of criticism for using what some deemed to be cheap pots and a basic stove.
Fans were quick to question how the Amapiano producer could afford luxury items while seemingly opting for inexpensive utensils in his own kitchen.

One social media user took to Twitter, sharing a snippet of the video and questioning why DJ Maphorisa would spend hundreds of thousands on designer brands but settle for affordable cooking equipment. The post quickly gained traction, with many users chiming in with their own opinions.
However, amidst the backlash, there were also supporters who argued that the choice of cooking equipment should not be a cause for concern. They emphasised that DJ Maphorisa’s talent and success as a music producer should not be overshadowed by the type of pots and stove he uses in his personal life.
Some fans even came to his defense, pointing out that there is a certain charm to using traditional pots for certain dishes like pap. They argued that the quality of the food should be the focus, not the material of the cooking utensils.

Yeah, but it’s not like his a chef. Our people like imposing their preferences on ours. I’m pretty sure he can afford the most expensive pots in the world.— Tebogo Mahlogela (@4210_tbgm) January 3, 2024
