DJ Zinhle is no stranger to clapbacks for people who deserve it, the musician and DJ’s clapbacks are quite subtle. However, this time around her clapback was quite out there. She replied to one social media user who told her to withdraw her nomination from the 2020 South African Music Awards.

It all started when one social media user asked how DJ Zinhle was nominated for ‘Record Of The Year’ while ‘Jerusalema’s Master KG was not. “How is [DJ Zinhle] nominated for [Record Of The Year] and Master KG isn’t. Even she knows if she wins this, it’s an award she doesn’t deserve. It was Jerusalem everywhere in December, even now. This songs is big all over Africa. This is Master KG’s award! Period,” says the social media user. The ‘Umlilo’ hit maker replied by saying that people should learn to fight for their favourite artists without accusing others of what they don’t know.

“Learn to fight for your faves without accusing other people of things you know nothing about. I actually don’t care if I’m nominated or not. [Where did I buy an award]…If there was a way I’d give my nomination to someone else. These awards don’t define my life,” says DJ Zinhle. One social media thus told her to withdraw from the nomination. “Nope. [I don’t want],” says DJ Zinhle.
