Scotts Maphuma Fumbles Yet Again As Apology Denial Sparks Social Media Dragging

Scotts Maphuma just can’t stay out the fire—and now the heat is scorching hot! The 29-year-old amapiano artist tried to shut down a viral tweet showing what looked like a public apology, claiming “that’s not me, I don’t even have an X account!” But instead of clearing the air, Maphuma lit the timeline on fire.

Even though he previously went live on Instagram to apologise for his recent behaviour, fans aren’t feeling his switch-up. One user, Melanin_Mmaps, summed it up: “Scotts Maphuma should have kept quiet, he is really making things worse.”

His back-and-forth behaviour is not helping his image. Maphuma even posted a cryptic IG message, claiming: “Only God can judge me.” But it seems Mzansi is judging—and dragging—him anyway!

Local Fans Turn On Scotts Maphuma: “He Refuses to Be Saved!”

South Africans are not here for the drama anymore. Netizens quickly clapped back at Maphuma’s attempt to distance himself from the tweet, with some calling his move nothing short of foolish. SthembiD didn’t hold back: “I think he is stupid.” And Siya_ZAR added, “In other words, he is not apologising. Hay, they must cook this brother.”

The reactions didn’t stop there:

Melo_Malebo: “So basically, he’s still unfazed about the whole thing? Wow!”

Tthor_4: “Scott is not beating the allegations.”

Malume_jb: “He should have kept quiet.”

Even loyal fans are starting to feel played. MellyLisah questioned those who had already forgiven him: “So those who forgave him because of that post, are they taking back their forgiveness?”

Cancelled? Scotts Maphuma Loses Gig After Apology Drama

Maphuma’s image has taken such a hit that he’s already facing real-world consequences. Sources confirm he was dropped from a lineup at Rustenburg’s popular Vogue Lounge nightclub. Ouch!

To save face, Maphuma revealed that he’s reached out to some of Mzansi’s music legends, including Oskido, for advice on how to reconnect with his fans. But the damage might already be done.

Prenishia_18 captured the mood perfectly: “He refuses to be saved.” And Motsi85 delivered the final punch: “Disappoint us again, Mabena.”

Scotts Maphuma might’ve thought he was clearing the air, but instead, he poured petrol on the fire. From losing gigs to losing goodwill, the amapiano star might need more than an Instagram Live to bounce back.
