Shamiso explains red carpet controversy

Briefly News previously reported that media personality Shamiso Mosaka finally addressed the backlash from her and DJ Speedsta's "cringe" red carpet moment at the Metro FM Music Awards on Saturday, 25 April 2026.

The pair made their first public appearance together since confirming their relationship; however, it didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped when social media spotted what they claim was Speedsta "forcefully" dragging his partner across the carpet.

A clip from their appearance quickly went viral across social media, capturing the moment the pair were walking hand-in-hand before Speedsta seemingly yanked his partner's arm to move her along. The footage shows Shamiso lightly running behind him to keep up as he pulls her away from the cameras, a moment many users labelled as "uncomfortable" to watch.
