Cassper Nyovest cleans out #SAHHA2017

The 2017 South African Hip Hop Awards took place last night under the theme #HIPHOPPOLITICS and while everyone is still stuck on the, er, questionable fashion choices made by some of the country’s faves, other’s are focused on who took top honors on the evening.

Cassper Nyovest cleaned out the awards with a whopping 6 wins in categories like Most Valuable, Album of the Year, Hustler of the Year and the biggest  Milestone (for #FillUpFNB).

We wonder if the win makes him forget that THIS ever happened.

It seems as though he’s in the mood of creating controversy whenever he’s at the SAHHA’s though as he did when he dropped this jab at SA Hip Hop legend, Tumi ‘Stogie T’ Molekane.

It seems as though Cassper is not the only one who feels the way he feels about Molekane as Riky Rick went on rant of his own, accusing Molekane of wanting to claim the success of the young rappers he put on. 

We’ll be keeping our eyes on this one… Anyway, back to the SAHHA’s, other notable winners include the likes of Shane Eagle, Rouge, Gemini Major, AKA, Anatii and DJ Slique. 

The awards ceremony has been marred with controversy since its inception as there has always been a dissenting opinion about the winners as well as criticism about the way the event is organized and the judging panel (which many feel is an echo-chamber of “yes” men).
