His candid remarks, made during a recent interview, have stirred strong reactions from fans and the public alike, leaving many questioning the artist’s view on his relationship with his loyal supporters.
“I don’t owe fans anything,” Maphuma said, making it clear that he doesn’t feel compelled to fulfill fan expectations, including taking photos or engaging with fans on a personal level.
