Mawelele takes over the Metros

The Metro FM Music Awards were a night to remember with some unforgettable hits and unfortunate misses.

As many musicians were celebrated for their work and talent, Mawelele's fan base made quite an impression and helped him win three awards.

The singer took home the Best Newcomer and Best R&B awards, as well as the Best African Pop Song trophy for Romeo and Juliet, a song with his rumoured boo thang, Naledi Aphiwe.

The couple has been seen cosying up to each other in several pictures; they even worked on some music together, which added fuel to the speculation.

Today, they're both multi-award-winners in their own right after Naledi won herself two shiny trophies at the prestigious ceremony - can you say "power couple"?
