Boity Thulo is South Africa’s most decorated South African female hip-hop artist since last Friday’s South African Hip Hop Awards show. The Bakae rapper’s latest pat on the back has resulted in an online back-and-forth among her haters and supporters.
Boity being recognised as 2021’s best female artist during the South African Hip Hop Awards has proven controversial. Twitter users have been chewing over her victory since the award ceremony aired on Friday evening.
Several hip-hop lovers argued that other nominees such as Gigi Lamayne were more suited to receive the recognition. Some even presented the possibility that Boity won due to sympathy votes instead of talent.
