LOL! DJ Maphorisa blamed for Thembinkosi Lorch 'underperforming'

It looks as if footballer Thembinkosi Lorch has “lost his skills” on the pitch and social media is blaming it all on music producers DJ Maphorisa and Kabza de Small.

Just last month people were singing and dancing in his name, but judging from his performance on the field, he continues to disappoint soccer fans, especially Pirates supporters.

As Pirates fans chanted for their team during their side's match against Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday night, they were disappointed to see Lorch “under-deliver”.

Frustrated by his poor performance, fans took to social media and called out Maphorisa for giving him “bad luck” and jinxing him.

Some went as far as saying Lorch needed to join the Scorpion Kings in studio, as he was failing on the field.

Speaking to fans on Twitter about the smash song last month, Maphorisa said: “I think my verse on Lorch it’s da best verse in all time. Go argue with your Madlozi.”

While people continue to poke fun at him for his work, Maphorisa has reminded them that he's BEEN a big deal.

In an interview with Zkhiphani, he said he didn't understand why people underestimated him and that they needed a wake-up call.

“I understand. Other people don't know me. They only know me now so I have to always remind people that 'yo, I am a big deal. Don't take me lightly.'”
