DJ Maphorisa lauds Faith Nketsi's music

DJ Maphorisa is once again topping social media trends, only this time, it's not because of another dance video.

The DJ/ producer is trending after an old clip of him and Faith Nketsi landed on people's timelines.

Twitter (X) user Gert_LeNinja shared an old video on 1 August 2025 of Nketsi being interviewed on her reality show about her decision to start rapping:

"What inspired me to do music is the fact that I love hip hop, I love music. I've always rapped from a child. In my head, I'm Meagan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B; I love it so much. I'm a performer at heart."

The video soon transitions to Porry and his guys in his recording studio listening to Faith rap, while Madumane gives her his stamp of approval.

After suddenly ending her dance career, back when she was called Queen Twerk, Faith attempted to be a rapper, a move that ended as quickly as it started. However, she did release some songs before dropping the mic for good.

The video was in response to Tokyo_Trev's post trolling Porry's reaction:

"I'll never forget when Phori was pretending that Faith Nketsi was a good rapper."

Porry's enthusiasm left many wondering whether he was being genuine or had an ulterior motive.

"She wasn’t even that bad, y'all are just hating."

"Flow is nice, she just needed a ghost writer and a real hip hop producer."
