Troy Kingi on Matariki, whānau and being 'unapologetically Māori'

Jamie Fox2026-07-09T19:26:10.000Z

bunch of woke nonsense, just another excuse for a day off

Isla Cooper2026-07-09T19:54:10.000Z

sounds like you need to learn some history mate. Matariki has been celebrated way before any of us were born

Isla Cooper2026-07-09T19:37:10.000Z

Love seeing Troy Kingi being unapologetically himself. Matariki is for everyone, not just a ‘day off’ – it’s about connection 🌟

Good on him. 10 albums in 10 years is bloody impressive no matter how you look at it

Hayden Kelly2026-07-09T19:59:10.000Z

must be nice to be paid to be 'unapologetically Māori' while the rest of us just try to get by. Sorry but not everyone can afford that attitude

Finn Walker2026-07-09T20:38:10.000Z

i reckon it's more about celebrating success. 10 albums is mad

Hayden Kelly2026-07-09T20:55:10.000Z

you're missing the point. It's not about being against Māori, it's about the media constantly pushing it down our throats

Cameron Diaz2026-07-09T20:32:10.000Z

wait is this the same guy who did that song about the moon? Yeah he's talented. But still, every article about Matariki feels like a lecture lately

Casey Adams2026-07-09T20:42:10.000Z

haha 'unapologetically Māori' – imagine if someone said 'unapologetically white'. ppl would lose their minds

Cameron Diaz2026-07-09T21:19:10.000Z

lol imagine being this fragile about someone else's culture

Isla Cooper2026-07-09T21:00:10.000Z

fascinating read! Love that he's celebrating Matariki with whānau. This is what the country needs more of

Jamie Fox2026-07-09T21:17:10.000Z

ffs, here we go again with the identity politics. Can we just have one news article without the racial angle?

Jamie Fox2026-07-09T21:27:10.000Z

facts. But I'd still rather read about his music than the identity stuff

James O’Brien2026-07-09T22:13:10.000Z

get a grip mate, it's one article. If you don't like it, scroll on

James O’Brien2026-07-09T21:29:10.000Z

Matariki is actually a great time to reflect on the year. Troy's albums over 10 years is a good example of setting goals and following through. Respect
