Reports Suggest Amapiano Artist Scotts Maphuma Detained in Mozambique Ahead of Performance

Amapiano musician Scotts Maphuma’s scheduled performance in Mozambique over the weekend was reportedly canceled following his alleged detention by local authorities. The incident came to light on Monday, 2 June, when celebrity blog Maphepha Ndaba shared a video on Instagram purportedly showing Maphuma being escorted by officials.

The blog cited an unnamed source in Mozambique, stating, “Scott has been detained here in Mozambique after being booked to perform. Further details remain unclear at this stage.” The authenticity of the video and circumstances surrounding the incident have not been independently verified.

The clip sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans expressing concern while others questioned its validity. Maphuma, who recently addressed controversy in South Africa with a public apology, has not yet commented on the Mozambique reports.
