Over the weekend, Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa (Scorpion Kings) held a sold-out show in collaboration with Piano People at London’s 5 000 capacity Printworks venue. The event was sold out a week before the show.
During the show, global afrobeats star WizKid, a known fan of amapiano, showed up to support the duo.
In videos shared online, the “Essence” hitmaker is seen standing and vibing with the Scorpion Kings behind the DJ booth.
