South African DJ and record producer DJ Maphorisa supported local brand Galxboy by spending nearly R100k during a shopping spree.

Thatiso Dube founded the South African streetwear brand, which captures the rebellious youth street culture with inventive designs based on modern-day African design philosophy.

DJ Maphorisa, whose real name is Themba Sekowe, took to Instagram to share pictures of him at the store where he brought items worth nearly R100k. He also captioned, “Local is lekker @galaxyboy_sa.”

The record producer is known to wear a lot of luxury brands on his socials and will be rocking his new Galxyboy merchandise.

In an interview with SA HIPHOP MAG, the founder credited AKA’s mention of the Galxyboy brand in his song Lemonade, where he says, “Star signs, pull up and shine at Nostra GALXBOY, that’s culture,” for the brand’s growth. Today, the Galxyboy brand has nine shops across South Africa and is a cultural icon.
