The artist, known for the track “Sya’Waver,” has released a captivating new music video that has had women across Mzansi expressing their admiration.
Released on 5 September 2025, the highly anticipated video showcases a stellar ensemble including Uncool MC, Mluusician, dlaLA regal, and Shaun Stylist. However, it was Maphuma’s shirtless appearance that truly captivated viewers. His sculpted abs and confident dance routines kept fans engaged, with many flocking to the comments to express their thoughts.
A brief clip of the video emerged on 15 October via X (formerly Twitter), where a user humorously remarked about the star’s impressive physique, stating, “Scotts Maphuma has an 18-pack.” This snippet quickly gained traction, leading to playful and flirtatious comments from female admirers who were enamored by Maphuma’s fit form.
One admirer commented, “Y’all wanted to burn me at the stake for saying he’s hot,” while another joked, “I might want him a little bit.” These reactions underscored the striking impact the Amapiano performer has made, extending far beyond the realm of music.
With more than 2.7 million views on YouTube, the music video has also climbed to the 20th position on the YouTube Music Global Top 100 chart in South Africa. Additionally, the track has garnered more than 1.2 million streams on Spotify, further solidifying Maphuma’s reputation as one of the leading figures in the Amapiano genre.
