Award winning hip hop artist Cassper Nyovest known by his legion of fans as King Mufasa has consoled Limpopo based artist and Matorokisi hit-maker Makhadzi after she was snubbed for the SAMA26 awards.

Makhadzi poured her heart out over the snub on social media, thanking her legion of fans for standing with her along the journey though she feels heart broken for not being nominated.

Posting on her Twitter page Makhadzi congratulated other musicians for being nominated. She went on to express her disappointment over the snub as she expected a nomination after what ‘Matorikisi did to Africans’.Multiple SAMAs winner Cassper Nyovest showed his support to Makhadzi in her diffcult moment. Cassper told Makhadzi to forget about the awards as they don’t matter as much as the people’s love. Cassper believes genuine love is the reason behind successful careers and awards do not play a role as they fade away if love is lacking.

The music loving South Africans were shocked by the exclusion of the Limpopo trio Master KG, Makhadzi and the John Cena hit-maker Sho Madjozi despite having hits in the yesteryear. The SAMA26 awards ceremony will be presented over five nights between 3 and 7 August 2020 at 21.30.

They will be broadcast in 30-minute episodes, except for the last night which will be a 45 minute grand finale. The party & ceremony will be streamed on My Muze by Vodacom and broadcast on Mzansi Magic, DStv CH 161 in August.
