After Mzansi decided to forgive Scotts Maphuma for his controversial remarks, the amapiano star wasted no time letting his hair down literally and figuratively by jetting off to Doha, Qatar for a luxury vacation dripping with opulence and second chances.
Scotts, born Mpho Lebajoa, is clearly in his soft life era, and he’s making sure everyone knows it. From jet ski rides to carefree dancing on the water, the star is reclaiming his joy and his fans. In a recent Instagram video that sent social media into a frenzy, Maphuma is seen vibing to his hit track Phumically Interesting, throwing playful gestures at the camera and soaking up the Arabian sun like a man reborn.
It’s a far cry from just months ago, when he found himself in the eye of a storm after publicly stating he didn’t enjoy taking pictures with fans because he “didn’t owe it to them.” The backlash was swift. Bookings were canceled, criticism poured in, and fans turned their backs.
But Maphuma didn’t stay silent for long. In a bold move to make amends, he issued a sincere public apology: “I’ve let some of you down, and I take full responsibility. Growth comes with owning your mistakes, and I’m committed to doing better.”
Industry icons like Makhadzi, Oskido, and Black Coffee extended their support, praising the artist for taking accountability. Makhadzi, who initially expressed disappointment, applauded his growth and willingness to face the music.
Despite some skepticism particularly around whether an AI-assisted apology was genuine Maphuma doubled down, launching Instagram Live sessions where he engaged directly with fans, answered questions, and welcomed open dialogue.
