Nadia Nakai is not a happy rapper. The stunner took to social media to vent about being snubbed for this year's South African Music Awards (SAMAs) nominations.
The 40 Bars hitmaker took to Twitter on Wednesday, 15 July to complain about being overlooked by the SAMAs even though she had a "good" hip-hop album.
The #SAMA26 Best Hip-Hop Album nominees are Youngsta CPT for 3T, Younga Chief for Becoming A Popstar, DJ Sliqe for his album Inja Yam Vol 2, K.O for PTYUNLTD and Big Zulu for his album titled Ungqongqoshe Wongqongqoshe.
When one tweep asked Nadia if she had submitted her album titled Nadia Naked to be considered for a nomination, she said:
"Babes I did... It’s definitely the last time I’m doing that sh*t though! On God."
The star, who recently signed to Def Jam Africa, said the SAMAs don't mean anything to her.
"Listen, I know my album is good... I’ve been around too long to know that these awards don’t really mean sh*t... Imma keep moving... always."
