Amapiano fans are once again asking hard questions after Sha Sha's name was nowhere to be found on the official Scorpion Kings Live bill for the upcoming FNB Stadium concert scheduled for 19 September 2026. Music page sahiphop_piano flagged her absence in a post that quickly gained traction online, using a side-by-side image of DJ Maphorisa and the Zimbabwe-born vocalist to drive the point home.
The post by X account @sahiphop_piano noted that this marks the second consecutive major Scorpion Kings event from which the BET Award winner has been excluded, following her omission from the duo's Loftus Versfeld Stadium show. The post reads:
"Sad to see. 😔 💔 Sha Sha is once again not part of the Scorpion Kings Live line-up. 🦣 👑 🏟️ She was excluded from the Loftus Versfeld Stadium show, and now she's been left out of the FNB Stadium line-up too.”

"Nd someone will say it's a perfect lineup. 😤 🙄 Without shasha nd something Soweto, it doesn't make sense."
KingKabazela said:
"DJ Maphorisa and Sha Sha should iron out whatever the cause is for amapiano and our culture."
RoyIAM took a different stance:
"It's been 10 years now that they haven't been working together, and shasha did say she won't be part of it. At some point, we must move on from association with Sha Sha. Something Soweto and Sir Trill, it's okay if they don't wanna be a part of it; they got their thing going for them"
Melanin_sage_ offered a lighter take:
"Well, ntombazane, sometimes it's good being left out."
Xalt_365 added:
"Even Vigro Deep, the guy who produced 80% of Scorpion Kings' album, is not there"
LuckySibekoZA was more blunt:
"Akafuni ukushiya ikuku so bamuvalela ngaphandle. This industry is the pits."
Phelela88595352 summed up the mood:
"There is bad blood; they just choose not to talk about it."
