On the 5th of August 2021 UK singer Jorja Smith announced the release of her track "All of This" featuring GuiltyBeatz on Twitter accompanied with the caption "Piano to the world".

South Africans were in shock and disbelief as one their most prolific (authentically South African) music genres they love was being appropriated in front of their very eyes by the UK national who cheekily assumed that it was her place to "announce" it to the world and also to classify it "Piano".

To make matters worse not a single South African DJ collaborated on the track or was consulted for that matter. She rather opted to work with Italian born DJ GuiltyBeatz who is of Ghanaian descent who confessed to be an amapiano fan.

Further analysis by South African producers shows that the track does not contain the key elements associated with Amapiano. Although the piano elements like the log drum were present it still cannot be classified Amapiano as others are lacking and there were no South Africans involved in it's creation so it does not have an authentic amapiano feel.

The South Africans public would like to request that the artist withdraw the statement "Piano to the world" and reclassify the song as a house track and until such that time she is prepared to collaborate with a South African Amapiano producer her songs cannot be called such.
