While the South African music awards are underway, controversy seems to be growing over these awards.
Social media reacted when David Ngcobo , better known as Nasty C,
Got nominated in the Best Music video of the year category, the Rapper bagged a total of 6 Nominations ( including the best music video nominations.)
Nasty C recieved two nods with two videos that were RELEASED ON THE 17TH OF MARCH 2017.
social media and a few artists didnt get why he got nominated because
THE SAMA 23 GENERAL RULES STATE
THAT:
‘All music videos submitted for the 23rd Annual SA Music Awards in the category
“Best Music Video of the Year” must have been flighted by a television broadcaster in South Africa during the period 1st December 2015 to 31 st January 2017 ‘
Kwesta( who is also nominated for this year's samas) came into defence of nasty c saying "
Surely @theSAMAs will correct it but
#HandsOff @Nasty_CSA don't discredit him because of unscrupulous label heads.PLAY THE BALL NOT THE MAN" right after A concerned fan was responding
To Riky Rick's tweet that reads
"Yaz, @KwestaDaKAR deserves to win ALL his categories at #SAMA23 . I pray the SAMAs arent for sale this year. We cant allow them to trick us.."
Nasty c got nominated in the best music video category even when his two videos " dont do it & Good Girls " were released late march 17 this year ( 2017). Based on the SAMA 23 rules, nasty c wasnt supposed to have been nominated at the first place , simply because submissions were for Material released from 1st Dec 2015 ( opening date) till january 31 2017( closing date) .
Rules are rules and we should stick to them right ?
