Love And Hip Hop Mzansi is the latest reality show to his Mzansi shores and it centers around the lives of our favourite local rappers. The show airs on MTV Africa, DStv Channel 130 at 21:30 PM CAT.
The cast of the reality series failed to impress Mzansi as a lot of the faves are not included. Even one of the most celebrated artists in Mzansi, Emtee, was not included at all. He revealed on Twitter that he was snubbed after making an attempt to join the show.
"Mane I was supposed to be on this love n hip hop SA shit. Bang’gabhile (they snubbed me,)" he said.

The cast members who did get included are; Da L.E.S aka, ‘The North God’, Gigi Lamayne and Utatakho hit-maker Yanga Chief , Shane Eagle, and his girlfriend of 12-years Nicole 'Nikki' Swartz, DJ Speedsta, and Fifi Cooper.
Speaking about the show, Gigi Lamayne said, “There’s a lot to look forward to. A highlight for me was confronting the Gigi Lamayne versus Fifi Cooper situation that has been looming for the longest time within South African Hip Hop when it comes to female rappers. Apart from that, I have been a staunch follower of the franchise for the longest time, and I always imagined myself to be on the show, so I am very excited for this experience”.
DA L.E.S also added his sentiments and said, “The current state of South African Hip hop is beautiful, and this platform will really allow me to share my knowledge on the industry. We have a very rich African Hip hop culture and I am looking forward to offering my space and showing the trials and tribulations I've been through in the industry. Love & Hip Hop SA is the best place to do it”.
Speaking in excitement about the show, the Senior Vice President and General Manager, Paramount Africa, and Lead, BET International, Monde Twala said:
“This is the most exciting front-row seat to the real lives of some of South Africa’s most talented Hip Hop stars making both local and international headlines. We are proud and excited to bring this global format to Africa. The Mzansi version of the popular Love & Hip Hop franchise will have viewers on the edge of their seats, and importantly become yet another Paramount Africa platform to export our talent internationally.”
Emtee recently took to Twitter to shut down rumours of abusing drugs. He told people that he was done drinking lean but still smokes weed.
