    Nasty C’s album (Bad Hair Extensions) earned him nods for Best Newcomer of the Year, Best Male Artist of the Year, Best Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. His videos “Don’t Do It” and “Good Girls” are also in the running for Best Music Video of the Year. Hot on th e heels of Nasty C is rapper Kwesta with five nods, while new singing sensation Amanda Black has four. The #SAMA23 ceremony will be held at the Sun City Superbowl on the 27th of May 2017.

    UPDATE:  The RiSA/SAMA office received a number of enquiries about the qualification of Nasty C’s music videos i.e. “Good Girls” and “Don’t Do It” in the category Best Music Video as announced at the SAMA 23 Nominees event on 20 April 2017.

    Their investigations have revealed that the videos were submitted for entry on 24 January 2017. They have further determined that the videos were not flighted before the closing date of the entries of 31 January 2017 as required by the SAMA rules.

    They have always trusted that all music videos submitted for this category to them have already been flighted by broadcasters during the specified entry period of the SAMAs entries . This case has proven them wrong and we accept full responsibility for our oversight to further verify whether the music videos submitted for this category were in fact flighted during the relevant SAMAs entry period.

    In light of this, the two music videos are automatically disqualified because they do not meet the criteria for Best Music Video Category. Replacement nominees will be announced soon. Nhlanhla Sibisi, CEO of RiSA commented: ‘The SAMA prides itself with a rich history of accountability and credibility. Our legitimacy is in our checks and balances including public involvement  and how swiftly we act.’ Nasty C’s tally of nominations goes down to five, making fellow rapper Kwesta the most nominated artist of SAMA 23 with his six nods.

    UPDATE: “You Say You Love Me” by The Kiffness featuring Tawanna Shaunte and “Uthando” by Sjava have found their way on to the coveted SAMA 23 nominations list and have replaced the 2 disqualified Nasty C videos.

    I think it’s great that South African artists are getting nods from the industry and getting nominated for their works. Only time will tell who will be the winners.
