Tweeps couldn't help but respond to Khalifa's interest:

@nicki_D_ was concerned:

"I fear there's a huge misrepresentation of what Amapiano sounds like. Amapiano isn't Afrobeats with random log drums! ✋ These people ba senya sound ya rona!"

@ItsTime2Migrate didn't approve:

"Their market doesn't support anymore and now they want to hog Africans."

@OdutoluTimothy weighed in:

"But let's be serious and forget the rivalries, American music doesn't sell like before anymore (maybe to the African audience). 2010-2018, I can't do without American songs. But I can't say when last I listened to or followed American music. Now they're coming to us."

@sbxmusic_ gave a bit of friendly advice:

"We don't all have to do Amapiano."

@444rabitallula rejected it:

"We don’t want it."
