Cassper Nyovest has once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the South African Music Awards (SAMA), this time accusing the organizers of robbing Tyra of the Record of the Year award.
The rapper, who is known for speaking out about industry issues, did not hesitate to express his disappointment on Twitter.
The SAMA 30 event has recently become a trend as fans celebrate the victories of their favorite artists.
Tyra won multiple awards and emerged as one of the night's biggest winners, but her supporters, including Casper, have no doubt that she will be the winner of the year, especially given the worldwide success of her hit films. I believe it deserves the title of the record. waterwhich also won this year's Grammy Award.
Casper tweeted. Tyra won a Grammy Award waterbro, but isn't she accepting the SAMA for Record of the Year at home? Haha, everyone is playing games. ”
The tweet sparked a lively debate, with fans and critics weighing in on whether international recognition should influence local awards.
Some agreed with Casper and felt that water was unfairly ignored, although some argued that success abroad did not guarantee recognition at home.
One Twitter user commented: “She may have been cheated locally…but American success cannot and should not be automatically equated to South Africa's success.” The SA public consumes music differently, especially when it comes to genres such as amapiano, gospel and maskandi. ”
Another added: “We don't copy America in South Africa…Just because she won a Grammy doesn't mean she should automatically win a SAMA.”
Some fans also expressed their unfamiliarity with the winning record, writing, “I thought I was the only one on this. Even with the Record of the Year winner, I don't like him or his music I don't know.''
While others have pointed out: water Although it achieved international fame, it did not have the same degree of dominance locally.water I couldn't win at home. This song wasn't a big deal in SA last year, and Amapiano was everywhere. ”
