As far as music awards in South Africa are concerned, 2017 has not Babes Wodumo's year. Mampintsha and Babes are beyond furious with Saturday nights SAMA results.
After a disappointing night for the Wololo hitmaker, both Babes and Mampintsha could not hold back their anger and frustrations.
Babes took to social to vent over not winning any awards for her music. She said that she "refuses to believe" that her song can be played and trend as it did but not receive any award.
She added that she is being recognised by international brands such as BET but failing to win even one award in SA is bizzare.
"Everyone saw what happened at the Metros has happened at the SAMAs. These awards are sold. Continue buying the awards. But it's fine, we won't starve. I will always be Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha will remain Mampintsha," Babes said.
Mampintsha uploaded a similar video using much stronger language, seemingly insulting the institution responsible for awarding SA artists.
He accused them of being jealous. [Caution: Strong language is used in the below video]
Anti-SAMAs rapper Cassper Nyovest sympathised with the pair, claiming he knows how they feel.
Prior to the show Babes said she would boycott music awards if she didn't walk away with a trophy. Host Somizi made fun of her earlier comments and she trended all night on Twitter.
