Black Coffee has joined the calls for Master KG's Jerusalema to be nominated for a SAMA. As the song gets more and more attention in the country and abroad, many have called for the award committee to re-think their decision to exclude the track.

Black Coffee took to Twitter to start a movement to have the SAMAs make history by changing their nominations after announcing them. At present, the popular song is not nominated in any category and Coffee is looking to change that.

The world-renowned DJ, who is currently touring in Europe, revealed that he is even getting requests to play the song abroad.

The muso tweeted:

“SAMAs don't you wanna make history by adding Jerusalema in this year's Awards ... I mean you can."

He added that everyone knows that the song deserves recognition from the academy. He even suggested they run a petition to get the song in the running.

Other celebrities have also openly expressed their dissatisfaction about the song not being nominated. Prince Kaybee even promised to dedicate his SAMA to Master KG should he win this year.

Cassper Nyovest chipped in and said that Jerusalema has more hype than the awards themselves. He tweeted:

“Master KG and Jerusalema has more hype than the SAMAs...they knew what they were doing was foul and God said, 'Not with my child!' He elevated him even further! God is no fool."
