Ami Faku’s SAMA26 snub has a lot of fans pissed.
We don’t know if you watched but the first part of the South African Music Awards (SAMA 26) virtual ceremony kicked off on Monday night. However the results of the night had a lot of fans pissed, especially for the Newcomer of the Year category.
The award which “Imali” hit maker, Ami Faku was nominated for was won by Ndabo Zulu and Umgidi Ensemble who also took home the win for “Best Jazz Album”. Fans were pissed off by the results of the Newcomer award, and took to social media to claim that the “Into Ingawe” singer deserved it more.
According to them, she had a much more successful album with platinum and Gold certified singles. They claimed that she got robbed of the award. However, they remain hopeful that she wins the other awards which she’s up for. We’ll all see how that goes.
