AMAPIANO artist Sir Trill recently visited the “L-Tido” podcast, where he shared his frustrations and challenges in the music industry.

During the interview Sir Trill called out a certain individual from the music industry whom he claimed “sabotaged” his career.

Watch the short clip below:

He referred to this mysterious person as “grootman”.

Since then, social media detectives have claimed that award-winning music producer, DJ Maphorisa, who is popularly known as the industry’s “grootman”, could be the one Sir Trill was referring to.

Not taking the accusations lightly, Maphorisa took to X where he came with the receipts.

Along with pictures of a WhatsApp conversation with Sir Trill and a proof of payment, the “Manzi Nte” hitmaker wrote: “Maybe his talking about other Grootmans 💔 this young man needs help.”

He said he remembered Sir Trill not showing up for a music video and other gigs, adding that Sir Trill sabotaged his own career.

“I remember him not going to the Music Video ya De Mthuda ‘John Wick’, I knew we gonna have a problem here. Self sabotage n Karma from all the promoters u f***** not pitching those gigs. N F*** L-tido Nyamao san (mother’s c***).”

L-Tido quickly hit back at Maphorisa.

He said: “Phori you a f***** coward Marete a gao, I literally didn’t say s*** about you. Deal with the people you robbing not me.”

Meanwhile, Sir Trill is yet to respond.

Here’s what social media users had to say about the beef.

@WolfLXXXVIII said: “swearing at @L_Tido is unnecessary and manipulative. Podcasters must now be afraid of giving artists a platform because you’ll insult them? deal with sir trill or nawe go to the podcast & tell your side of the story.

“surely @L_Tido wouldn’t mind hosting you and apologise to him!”

@Azania0902 said: “Maphorisa is out of order how does L-tido’s mother have anything to do with this? We don’t have role models in this era.”

@KeSomebody said: “Themba ema pele bafana. You can’t swear at someone’s mother. Kindly apologise, because Mama Thato didn’t say anything to you. 🙏🏽 Do not be belligerent and allow pride to puff you.”
