“Mas Musiq used to be selfish,” DJ Maphorisa speaks on the creation of “eMcimbini” song

DJ Maphorisa gave fans the full scoop on the hit song, eMcimbini, and it made their jaws drop.

During a live Instagram chat, the music producer revealed that he withdrew the song from Mas Musiq and asked Kabza De Small and Samthing Soweto to drop verses on it.

“Mas used to be selfish, and unfortunately eMcimbini, why we took it. Why Kabza and I took eMcimbini was because it had a saga. It had saga why? Mas Musiq sampled Samthing Soweto’s afro beat song. We played that song at Live [Amp]”

“Then when we played it at Live [Amp], Samthing Soweto freaked asking why are the boys sampling me … I begged Samthing Soweto telling him that the song is big. I then thought Kabza and I should take it and he should add a verse,” he said.
