DJ and producer Oscar Mbo has made a bold pledge to content creator Shabbawama2k: buy him a car if he walks away with a win at the South African Social Media Awards (SASMAs). The promise, made during a lighthearted four-way split-screen livestream, has since set social media alight.
The video, posted to Instagram on Friday, 28 August 2026, features Shabbawama2k hosting a casual video call alongside Oscar Mbo and Fatherpatric, with a SASMA Awards voting graphic also displayed on screen. An on-screen caption reading "OSCAR MBO Promised to buy me a car if I Win the SASMA Award," complete with emotional emojis, made the stakes very clear.
