Maphumulo, 47, was the first African DJ to scoop a Grammy Award in 2022, adding to his groundbreaking BET Award.
The DJ has gone from strength to strength in his pursuit of international recognition having rubbed shoulders with the likes of David Guetta, P. Diddy, Drake and others. Last weekend, he continued to fly the South African flag high when he took to the stage at the 20 000-seat capacity venue in New York City.
The KwaZulu-Natal born Grammy Award winner also invited some local artists such as the Major League DJs who are also making waves internationally, Busisiwe Nolubabalo Nqwiliso aka Bucie, Msaki, and others.
