Apparently, there was drama at the SAMAs after De Mthuda was excluded from his own performance.

SAMAs allegedly snub De Mthuda

The Arthur Mafokate and Chomme performance is apparently not the only thing that sparked controversy at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs).

De Mthuda has reportedly spoken out after being excluded from his own performance despite being invited by the organisers and producers of the prestigious event.

According to TshisaLIVE, the Landlord hitmaker was asked to wait in his car to later be fetched for his performance.

However, the wait extended to over an hour, only for Mthuda to discover that the performance had passed. Apparently, only his featured artists got to hit the stage while he waited in his car, and his team was extremely disappointed:

"Despite arriving on time and ready to perform, De Mthuda waited for over an hour. The producers proceeded to film the performance with only the featured artists, completely omitting De Mthuda."
