The episode featured a panel of Amapiano where they unpacked the best Amapaino talent of 2022. One of the guests left a bitter taste in a lot of people’s mouths after she labeled the twins as the Face of Amapiano, while disregarding Kabza’s contribution to the genre. According to her, the twins are more influential because they can communicate better and articulate the culture of Amapiano than Kabza de Small does.

“This international thing is not because they are gigging internationally. Major Leagues can sit down in an interview and tell you about piano, Kabza can’t,” she said.

Reacting to the debate, the DJs gave Kabza De Small his flowers. They acknowledge that they are merely a carrier of sound to the world and say they learned about the genre from Kabza.

“Weird energy going around but our knowledge about amapiano comes from Kabza, Josiah, De Mthuda, Mfr Soul, and Mark Khoza. We just a vessel of the sound to the world,” the duo wrote.

Tweeps have defended Kabza and dragged those who disrespected his impact on the amapiano genre.

This just proves that you could be chilling in your corner doing your thing then BOOM you trending because someone said something about your work. Kabza bugs no one, he just works but he’s always compared to others

I needed more context, it got worse. Even if you are talking impact, saying Major League did more than Kabza just cause they got BBC interviews and Coachella gigs is insane. https://t.co/hF72VOHlOH pic.twitter.com/KhoUhMjd3x

I’m so angry. Never give this person the platform to talk about piano ever again. Major league isn’t even one of the pioneers of piano. They just jumped on when it blew up. This is so disrespectful to Kabza and piano. You guys don’t know piano and it shows. https://t.co/joudAfpxZb

We know this, we know what she meant. She was taking a jab at Kabza’s inability to speak English in certain spaces. Ke ntwana ya kasi, he doesn’t have to sound perfect. But the twins, despite their ability to express themselves.. know nothing about the sub-genre. https://t.co/YmX2XeO6Vn

The 1 thing we must not allow or tolerate as a country is disrespect towards Kabza De Small.
