K.O’s ‘Sete’ snubbed at Metro FM Music Awards

3y By Staff Bona

Rapper Ntokozo Mdluli, popularly known as K.O, was nominated for 7 awards at this year’s Metro FM Music Awards. However, the rapper walked away empty-handed, leaving fans quite confused.

The rapper’s Sete (featuring Young Stunna and Blxckie) has so far garnered over 30 million views on YouTube and over 17 million streams on Spotify.

K.O was the most nominated artist at this year’s award ceremony, being up against AKA and Sjava in most of the categories. The categories included Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Hip Hop Artist, Best Male Artist, Best Music Video and Best Viral Challenge.

Major categories such as Artist of the Year, Best Male Artist, Best Hip Hop Artist and Best Collaboration were lost to AKA. However, the Caracara hitmaker was not bitter about his loss. He congratulated the late rapper on social media.

Although, many dubbed AKA’s wins as “sympathy” wins.

One Twitter user said, “We all loved AKA but what is being done to KO sete is not fair.”

Another said, “But deep down we know SETE is best and biggest collaboration!#MetroFMAwards.”

Others came to AKA’s defence.

K.O had also lost to gospel artist Betusile Mcinga’s Ngena Noah, which won Song of the Year. Many thought he would bag the award, even Cassper Nyovest.

Another Twitter user deemed the loss as “daylight robbery.”
