While the producer of tjr track, 9umba was receiving the award, he gave his speech however it seema Lady Du did not find the speech convincing. Taking to social media, Lady Du seemingly lambasted the fact that Nobantu Vilakazi and Sir Trill were not mentioned in the speech, and felt they deserved it. “Nobantu and sir trill were not even mentioned in a speech they were supposed to be mentioned on!!! Sipinde siya thula futhi!!!Mina ngeke!!! Yet they made that song!!!” Check it out:
Former soccer player turned musician, Pholoso Masombuka (22) got into music in 2014. He started off as a rapper. He says growing up he liked kwaito and got into dancing and became known for dancing pantsula in Tsakane, East of Joburg. When he moved to the Vaal because he was a naughty kid, he then met musicians who introduced him to hip-hop music.“When I first went to the studio I knew that when I finish my matric I want to focus on making music. I told my dad, and he didn’t have a problem so I made sure that I did well at school so I can focus on something that I love.”
While people were fresh from celebrating the New Year, he posted a video of himself dancing to a catchy hook that got the whole on Mzansi rocking to it. It was his way of telling people that it was okay to celebrate themselves and their achievements. The song continues to make marks both on dance floors and online music streaming platforms.
