Musicians who were not pleased with Metro FM Awards

The 16th Metro FM Awards left many artists and fans unhappy with the results. It all began with Riky Rick, who said he was not happy with winning his award because there were talented artists who, while struggling, submitted their music to radio stations but never got airplay.

STOP PLAYING WITH THE PEOPLE... WE NOT STUPID...

“If niggaz can pay for these f***ing awards, then my nigga, I don’t want them,” he later tweeted. DJ Black Coffee also took to social media to share his discontentment with the awards, asking why his remix did not make the cut even though it was played worldwide.

Just watched the #MMA16....maybe it's time @METROFMSA do what they do best and remain a Radio Station?

Kwesta released one of the most-celebrated songs in 2016, Ngud, and left many hoping he would take Song of the Year. Instead, the award went to Nasty c for Hell Naw, and fans were not happy. Even model Ntando Duma thought Ngud would take the award. Kwesta also took to social media to share his thoughts, saying “the bullsh*t must be called”.

Never been a bitter fella. We keep working, we just about music. But in the end the bullshit must be called. Just got 4 missed calls from me
