Sha Sha gets dragged for DJ Maphorisa’s SAMA flex
Some social media users take issue with Sha Sha being a Zimbabwean citizen.
DJ Maphorisa says he already had calls from six parents enquiring about the fake job advert.
Sha Sha (Charmaine Shamiso Mpambiro) may be the voice on several popular amapiano songs in South Africa, but some Tweeps have turned on her … and it’s all because of DJ Maphorisa.
Maphorisa unintentionally opened a can of worms after he bragged on Twitter how he had been nominated in the SAMA’s category of Record Of The Year for his mix of Sha Sha’s hit single, Akulaleki.
iam nominated ko di Sama n i dnt give a fuck about them

Soon after his post, Tweeps were having a field day expressing their views, with some even launching into subtle xenophobic attack mode.
Yo Xenophobia is not really suttle, it’s like saying Theron should not get an Oscar or Trevor an MTV isn’t she based here or u need citizenship to b recognized that Mzanzi is bopping
