It’s Been a Long Time Coming”: SA Reacts As Kabza and Phori Unfollow Each Other on Instagram

Amapiano fans were left stunned after news broke that music giants Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa, collectively known as Scorpion Kings, unfollowed each other on Instagram. The duo’s apparent fallout has sparked widespread speculation about the future of their collaboration.  

### The Unfollowing Drama  

The news first surfaced when Twitter (X) user @PianoConnectSA shared a post revealing that Kabza and Phori had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Additionally, DJ Maphorisa reportedly deleted all pictures of himself and Kabza from his profile.  

The post read:  

“DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have unfollowed each other on Instagram.”  

This development comes shortly after another popular Amapiano duo, Murumba Pitch, announced their split to pursue solo careers.  

### Mzansi Reacts  

Social media users were quick to weigh in on the drama, with many expressing mixed reactions. Some fans saw the split as inevitable, while others lamented the potential end of the Scorpion Kings era.  

Here’s what some netizens had to say:  

- **@TshxpoFS:** “Now Kabza De Small must rekindle his friendship with Kelvin Momo. They should do a joint album of good amapiano music and keep it moving, not this work, and I will add ft. Maphorisa.”  

- **@IrisJulianne:** “It’s been a long time coming.”  

- **@miganCleb:** “We will go back to the actual piano, the original piano. Not this wishiwishi nonsense. Something Soweto, shasha, nea pearl, Mlindo the vocalist... name the genuine piano starter rest in peace Mpura.”  

- **@TellUnknown:** “When you have a toxic individual in your life, ain’t nothing wrong with choosing peace and letting them go.”  

### Murumba Pitch Splits  

The drama between Kabza and Phori follows the recent announcement by Murumba Pitch, another beloved Amapiano duo, that they would be parting ways to pursue solo careers. According to reports, the duo reached a mutual agreement after struggling to resolve internal differences.  

A close friend of Murumba Pitch revealed:  

“Friends and colleagues fight; it’s normal, but they just reached a breaking point where they can’t resolve matters. They have different visions; I think they fulfilled their purpose as a duo; it was maybe the right time to just pursue solo careers.”  

### Criticism of Scorpion Kings  

Earlier this year, Kabza and Phori faced criticism for allegedly not giving back to their communities. The issue was discussed on the *Piano Pulse* podcast, with hosts suggesting that the duo should initiate programs to help those in need.  

However, some fans defended the artists, arguing that they are not obligated to publicize their charitable efforts and may already be helping behind the scenes.
