The Beauty and The Beast....Oooh and the Axe too.

We all know that show on Mondays, the one that brings sport highlights. Yeah I'm talking about the former MTN/Coca Cola Soccerzone which is now Sports at 10. It was once hosted by Robert Marawa until he switched to pay TV's SuperSport channel.

I don't know whether the broadcasters are at war over presenters or what but SABC later snatched the then SuperSport presenter Thomas Mlambo to host the Sports @ 10 show. Apparently this was a move to increase the number of viewers of the show and that's why they also brought on board the beautiful Minnie Dlamini to co-host the show.

Well looks like the plan backfired then.  The SABC announced that they are letting both Thomas and Minnie go after they have failed to increase the show's fan base. Insiders say the show has been losing viewers since Marawa left and the adding of Thomas and Minnie brought little to zero change.

Cassper Nyovest and Anati drop a hot single featuring Nasty C

Have you guys heard it thou? We think its really dope. The beat, the chorus, and all 3 verses are nothing but fire. I don't about y'all but I think Anati is the dopest producer right now. The guy can really cook up a track, we'll post the instrumental soon so y'all can hear the fire im talking about. In the meantime press play and enjoy the track.

Oh and here is the Song art:

Emtee VS Nasty C

2014 may have been a great year for SA hip hop, but 2015 was a blessing. This came after two, very young and talented rappers blew up early in 2015 and its no secret that they’ve taken over the game. One goes by the name Emtee and the other known as Nasty C. Now, im sure a lot of you have a favorite between the two. Whether its Emtee da hustla or the Juice Back hitmaker Nasty C, it doesn’t matter because these two are both on fire.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or a planned move but do you guys notice how nasty c is more into Cassper and Emtee into AKA? These two young rappers both had hits in 2015, Roll Up and Juice Back right? Nasty C did a remix of his song featuring  Cassper Nyovest and Davido, and then Emtee did a remix of his featuring AKA and Wizkid. Isn’t it crazy how they both used Nigerian stars and two of the biggest rivals on their remixes?

 I know a lot of you are thinking: “is there beef between nasty and emtee”? No actually there isn’t any beef between the two. As a matter of fact, the two even made a song together, for Emtee’s debut album called Avery. AKA and Cassper should actually be taking notes from these youngsters.

Skhanda God is pissed at the Metro FM Awards

This comes after receiving zero nominations at the Metro Fm awards. The rapper believes his two singles #ONETIME and #SkhandaLove deserve a few nominations. This is not the 1st time the rapper's been left disappointed. Last year he was also pissed at the MTV Africa Music Awards organizers for not giving him enough time to rehearse for his performance. Artists who seem to be winning are Cassper Nyovest, Nathi Mankayi, and Riky Rick.  K.o took to instagram to express his feelings.

Congratulations to all those nominated at the Metros this year!!! My album came out late 2014 yet it spawned singles that made a resounding impact in 2015 #SkhandaLove #OneTime I owe the success of those singles to all the media channels who made them as big as they became including #MetroFM 😌. Thank u to the fans as well for the support! We submitted the songs to be considered but sadly didn't make the Metros nominations list. Being overlooked at these award ceremonies (s/o SAMA☺️) has been the story and fuel behind my solo journey. I feed off of that. Soldiers don't bitch about the scars picked up on the battlefield, they simply soldier on! F*ck a flash wound, there's a war to win! New album out 2016! Love always #SkhandaGawd

Award Season

Award season has begun as we've seen the Golden Globes wrapping up for 2016 and the Oscar nomination ruffling a few feathers(or maybe weaves) as there are no black actors in their nominees. Well that's their problem, we've got our own Penny Sparrow to deal with and our own award season to see through. Kicking off our 2016 award season is the 15th Annual Metro FM Awards. The nominees were announced on Thursday 14 2016. Leading the pack this year is the Nomvula hit maker Nathi and the disc jockey duo Spectacular and Naves. Let's slaughter a few of the categories and who I think should win. Best African Pop Album: Nathi - Buyelekhaya Zahara - Country Girl Zonke - Work of Heart Maleh- You Make My Heart Go Kabomo - Sekusile This category is interesting. Firstly I didn't know Kabomo and Maleh had albums and I thought Zonke's album is too fresh to be nominated. Either way all 3 should forget about this one because its between Zahara and Nathi and I hope Nathi wins. Best Female Album: Maleh - Feels So Good Zonke - Reach It Zahara - Country Girl Thiwe - Soul Therapy Fifi Cooper - 20Fifi This category has some good vocalists going head to head and my gut tells me Zahara is having this one while I'm secretly hoping Fifi Cooper snatches it(I'm just a fan) Best RnB Single: Zonke - Reach It Nathi - Nomvula Maleh - Feels So Good CiCi - Runaway Vincent Bones - My Lady And again Zonke, Nathi and Maleh are battling it out in the same category with 2 new comers to go against,CiCi and the 2014 SA Idols winner Vincent Bones. Just because she came with a different sound and nobody sounds like her at the moment I'd like CiCi to take this one, imagine bringing a legendary dying stable back to life. That deserves a nod. Best Urban Gospel Album: Ntokozo Mbambo - Andile Ka Majola - Malusj Mbomazi - Ngisize Nkosi Ayanda Ntazi - Udumo Worship House - True Worship 2015 Don't really listen to gospel so whoever wins this one "Praise God", quoting Rebecca Malope Best Hit Single: Aka - baddest L-Tido - Dlala Ka Yona Kwesta - Nomayini Witness The Funk - Nomusa Shekhinah - Back to the beach So far this is the toughest category coz each and every one of these songs made waves everywhere. Imma' show a little favourism here because Witness The Funk is one of the best things that ever happened to me in 2015 so let's not discuss it they should just win. Best New Artist: Nathi Emtee Riky Rick Prince Kaybee Fifi Cooper Another interesting category. Nathi deserves this one because he's been the talk of town for a whole year. I didn't know they still considered Ricky Rick a new artist but anyway I don't think Boss Zonke is enough to carry him through this one and once again Fifi representing for the ladies as she's the only female in the category. Just give it to Nathi. Best Hip Hop Album: Cassper Nyovest - Refiloe Riky Rick - Refiloe Emtee - Avery Fifi Cooper - 20FIFI Zakwe - Impande This category makes me happy not because AKA is not nominated, I would be happy even if he was and Cassper wasn't. It makes me because not having them going head to head means there won't be a playground school girl fight on twitter. And for what its worth I think Cassper deserves it. Best Male Album: Nathi - Buyelekhaya Black Coffee - Pieces of Me Cassper Nyovest - Refiloe Prince Kaybee - Better Days Riky Rick - Family Values Everyone else in this category should just sit down already coz the winner is amongst the first three names. Black Coffee has and still is doing the most in music both nationally and internationally for that reason I feel he deserves this one and big ups for making it to Coachella. African Category: Burma Boy Ojuelwgba Partoranking - Woman my everything The Marvins - Dorobucci Reekado Banks - Katapot This category excites me the most. We have finally included our fellow africans but its a quite dangerous category. Patoranking, Burna Boy and the Mavins are all very much loved in SA but we know who the boss is. The Mavins of course. Song Of The Year: Black Cofeee - We Dance Again Nathi - Nomvula Sphectacula & DJ Naves featuring Professor - Kings Of The Weekend Anthem Durbanyts - Shumaya Heavy K - Umoya DJ Ganyani - Talk To Me Prince Kaybee - Wajellwa Riky Rick - Boss Zonke Shimza - Akulalwa Prince Kaybee - Better Days I am also quite amped about this category, there are a lot of deserving artists. Shumaya has done some serious rounds(and still is) but We Dance Again escalated very quickly and Nomvula is a song of sentimental value to a lot of people and Heavy K is always a hit in the festive season. I seriously don't know who deserves this the most but between me and you I'm hoping Black Coffee wins (The list of nominees is extracted from Times Live but not the comments and Predictions)

Diski Diva Dip

Mzansi Magic is back with probably one of the most successful reality
show; Diski Diva. This year things are different though as we see 4
divas from the previous season not making a comeback for seconds.
The 4 no pitch divas are namely Wendy Parker who is wife to Kaizer
Chiefs player Bernard Parker, Gigi Rantie who is married to Tokelo
Rantie who is in the national squad. Girlfriend to former pirates star
Andile Jali, Nonhle Ndala and Katlego Mohaoduba who is ex girlfriend
to former Kaizer Chiefs player also didn’t pitch for the follow up
season.
Though it’s a new season with 4 beauties off the show, there are
familiar faces like Felicia Modise who is Teko Modise’s ex wife and
Blue Mbombo who apparently was engaged to a Black Aces player.
When faces fade naturally new ones emerge (in reality TV of course).
So in the second season we are introduced to new ladies like Kgomotso
Machete who we briefly met in season 1 and is mother to Siyabonga
Sangweni’s daughter (Orlando Pirates player). In the first episode we
heard Kgomotso say “have you seen how much soccer players get paid”
after she had a meeting with an attorney regarding pap geld issues.
We also met Kia Ntshole who is the mother of Mbuyiselo Sambu’s son. I
don’t know Sambu but he apparently plays Chippa United (really
though?). Thandeka Nhleko who was married to Nkosinathi Nhleko (Kaizer
Chiefs) for 15years is here to showcase how she has picked herself
after the divorce. Then we also met Promise Zondo who the girlfriend
of Manti Moholo. We don’t much about her yet but she does not interest
me much.



For me the first episode was not interesting at all. The ladies don’t
look like they have much to show, they look like typical baller
girlfriends. My guess is they will just be fighting over stupid things
the whole season.
What would’ve been interesting would be seeing Nonhle and Gigi back to
share their new lives with viewers. By new lives I mean Nonhle being a
new mom and how she moved on from being physically attacked by Wendy
and Katlego and Gigi being a new wife. Another interesting factor
would have been the return of Wendy and Kat. Wendy to show us how her
come back to the modeling industry and maybe an apology to Nonhle. Not
that she deserves it; Nonhle has been a bitch to everyone on the show.
It would’ve also been nice to see how Kat’s hair business played out
and who she would consult for advice and stuff.

When the show fired Wendy and Kat last season they said they do not
promote the kind of behavior they displayed at the Khaya FM studios
when they attacked a defenseless pregnant Nonhle. If you ask me with
type of ladies they have this season that kind of behavior might as
well be what they are promoting. If they were promoting something else
they would have casted the likes of Bokang Montjane and Sonia Booth.
Sonia Booth is a business woman and a respected figure in the South
African fashion scene. She is married to Mathew Booth a retired soccer
legend who played for both Bafana and Sun Downs.
Bokang Montjane is former Miss South Africa (2010) and one of only two
women who have competed in 4 major pageants namely Miss world, Miss
Universe, Miss Earth and Miss international. She is now the mother of
Simphiwe Tshabalala’s son.

SA Idols Judge Gets Fired!!

A judge has been released from the SA idols judging panel.

Is it to flame to the 12th edition of the show or has someone got their fingers burnt by the flames? On Friday 8th if Jan Mzansi magic announced that former 5fm DJ and now owner of Cliff Central who joined the panel in the 2nd season of the show will no longer be the fourth judge at panel Rumor has it, it must have been the tweet he posted in which he states that "People do not understand free speech at all" during the Penny Sparrow saga(Damn you Penny) The post received a lot of attention from the show's fans with some even threatening to boycott the show M-net hasn't yet elaborated on their decision to release Mr Cliff from the show but have thanked him for his contribution to finding new talent Will there be a replace?? That's the hot question right now but the million dollar question is who will be warming Mr Cliff's seat. Whatever the producers decide I have a few suggestions of my own The most predictable choice would be the very talented singer/Composer/vocalist and also the show's Music Director, RJ Benjamin. RJ Benjamin as been working with the idols contestants for some time now and we'd think he knows exactly what sort of talent the show is looking for My other suggestion is the young, beautiful, colorful and vibrant Chiano Sky who broke into the industry in 2012 with smash hits like "Walking Away" and "Sick Sick". Reason why I'm suggesting Chiano Sky is because of the market she targets and the type of artist she represents, I think she has the skills to finally find us our first female winner since Sasha-lee Davids Lira would've been a great edition to the panel but thanks to Idols for being blind sighted, the new kid on our screens The Voice SA has already snatched the beauty. Let's not be predictable and think that they will put in a fourth judge since there were four judges. It is also possible that they are satisfied with their 3 judge panel however what would be exciting to the show would be keeping the 3 judge panel and have guest judges during auditions and "theatre week"
