Amapiano King DJ Maphorisa has once again set Black Twitter ablaze, but this time it’s not for a hit song. The producer’s latest fashion flex—a bright yellow Goyard luggage bag worth a staggering R400,000—has become the subject of ruthless mockery online. Maphorisa posted a video of himself arriving at the airport, intending to show off his Nike tracksuit and sneakers, but all eyes went to the rectangular accessory clutched in his hand.
Social media users were quick to roast the DJ, with many questioning why a man would carry what looks suspiciously like a lady’s handbag. Comments ranged from “Porry, why are you carrying Madumane’s purse?” to harsh critiques about the “small street” look of the ultra-expensive item. Despite the backlash, Maphorisa remains unfazed, known for his unapologetic love for high-end designer brands like Gucci, Versace, and now Goyard.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about celebrity wealth and the pressure to flaunt luxury items in South Africa’s entertainment industry. While some fans defended his right to spend his money, others found the display tone-deaf amidst the country’s economic struggles.
