The awards seemingly appeared out of nowhere and nobody knows who is behind them. Taking to social media, Phori asked:
“Who created SA Amapiano awards?”
Some thought that Phori was hating because he didn’t think of the idea himself while others were just as curious as he was.

“Whoever compiled that nominees list is clueless. How can you talk about Amapiano and not include the likes of Shasha, Daliwonga, Samthing Soweto, DJ Jaivane and Tyler ICU in the conversation. They missed it!!!!!!”
@djlynchsa said:
“The Amapiano Music Awards were probably orchestrated by someone.”
@mpn_mshika said:
“I don't know but it's better because Focalistic will no longer be on the Hip Hop's Hottest Mcs.”
The awards have indeed caused a stir in the country, particularly after the nominees were announced.
