‘Cancel me South Africa’ — Scotts Maphuma struggling with pressures of fame.

‘I can’t deal with the fact that my life can’t be private any more.’

Musician Scotts Maphuma has shared his frustration and struggle with the pressures of fame.

There have been videos of the amapiano star retaliating when asked for pictures. Scotts has broken his silence on the matter.

“This is the last time I give attention to this I swear a I’m not money. I can’t be loved by anyone.

I can’t deal with the fact that my life can’t be private any more. You can’t even go to the mall and buy a pair of shoes, which is what I did for years but now I have to think about being asked for pictures and it’s OK.

I don’t mind if it’s just a picture but I can’t spend every minute of my life being Scotts Maphuma. When am 1 gonna be normal again?

“Has South Africa thought about that? So if South Africa doesn’t care about us, whether you’re hurt or not in the mood, it could be anything because it’s not like I live in [the] studio and make music all the time.

Why should I understand always that these people are my fans — why? You tell a person that today I’m not feeling like taking pictures, all of a sudden you’re rude. So I should give people my time and energy by force just because I’m who l am? I’m sorry. Cancel me South Africa -maybe I’ll be free from you.”
