Cassper Nyovest took to social media recently and alleged that the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) are corrupt. The Amademoni hitmaker shared on Twitter that the SAMAs think they are bigger than the artists.
Mufasa expressed that the "dead" awards are rigged. It is not known what triggered Cass' outburst but he is definitely not a fan of South Africa's biggest awards organisation.
"Do people even remember who won the SAMAs last year? That used to be the biggest and most important award for artist. Now it doesn't mean anything. You know why ? Corruption, they thought they were bigger than the artists. They disconnected from the culture. It's all rigged. Dead!"
The rapper vowed not to submit his songs for consideration at the awards after his classic Doc Shebeleza was snubbed in the Song of the Year category in 2015. Cassper Nyovest bragged:
"Made it this far without a SAMA. Who else?"
Social media users have shared mixed thoughts over the musician's accusations. Check out some of their reactions below:
@YoungtasThapelo said:
"Now that you are not bagging those awards you call them rigged."
@TChoenyana wrote:
"The SAMAs lost my view when they did not recognise Master KG's Jerusalema even though he was recognised globally and won international awards.... and also for not nominating Makhadzi.... the disrespect they have for Limpopo artists makes me hate them."
@KitsoDaKit commented:
"Personally, those awards lost touch when they didn't give Babes Wodumo her song of the year award for Wololo."
@zarrradio said:
"Hmmm ndoda tshiya amanga (stop lying man)... because you want to win 6 awards and post them. The competition has stiffened... AfroHouse and Piano have tightnened the bolts. @PrinceKaybee_SA got that Album of the Year, by the way and I am from Zimbabwe."
@ZuluNation_Ngid added:
"Bro discrediting SAMAs is a wrong move, not winning it doesn't mean they're useless."
