As the debate around the Metro FM Awards voting system continues to rage, record label boss Cassper Nyovest has voiced his disdain at "buying awards".
Ever since musicians including Riky Rick, Babes Wodumo and Khuli Chana vented their anger over the votes at this year's Metros, there's been talk of awards being "bought".
There has also been rumours about Mabala Noise making a "donation" to the SABC before the awards.

The rapper was responding to questions on social media over why he didn't "buy awards" for the artists in his stable.
