Riky Rick Tried To Warn You About Metro FM Awards

For nearly a decade, the Metro FM Music Awards (MMA) has been at the center of a massive debate in South Africa. From 2017 to 2026, many fans and artists have claimed that the voting system is "rigged"—meaning the winners are chosen by the organizers or big record labels instead of the people. The "Robbery" Timeline 2017: The Babes Wodumo Scandal This was the year the "rigging" talk went viral. Even though her hit song Wololo was the biggest song in the country, she didn't win a single award. Fans were furious, and many believed she was "robbed" of her moment. 2025: DJ Maphorisa Speaks Out By 2025, the frustration reached a boiling point. DJ Maphorisa and other Amapiano stars publicly called the awards a scam. They argued that even when fans spend thousands on SMS votes, the SABC chooses winners based on business deals rather than popularity. Who Else Was "Robbed"? Over the years, names like Kwesta,A Reece and various Amapiano producers have often topped the "robbed" list. Fans feel these artists dominate the charts and the streets, yet they often lose to artists who aren't as popular, leading to the belief that the system is broken.Zee Nxumalo is also among the list of mzansi artists who were allegedly robbed at metro fm awards. watch the video to find out more Music In this Video "Horizon" - Scott Buckley "Chasing Daylight" - Scott Buckley 🌐 https://www.scottbuckley.com.au #metrofm #zeenxumalo #lekompo
