DJ Maphorisa took to social media to brag about getting nominated for Record Of The Year (ROTY) at the SAMAS. The song that helped get the nod was Sha Sha’s hit single, “Akulaleki”.

This had unintended consequences for Sha Sha as social media users dragged him for getting nominated for the SAMAS although he was a Zimbabwean national.

Sha Sha has been nominated for the best song to come out of South Africa. Social media users used the opportunity to point out that lots of non-South Africans have been nominated for previous SAMAS according to ZAlebs.
