On Monday, a statement was released by the award’s organizers, explaining that they decided to come up with the awards because yanos artists have not received any recognition for the hard work they continue to put into their songs.

Not only is does the genre boast great sound, production, or vibes, but what makes it stand out is also the dance moves that accompany a number of songs. In 2019, everyone was crazy about the pouncing cat, which is still a relevant dance move in 2020.

Dancers such as Killer Kau, Kamo Mphela, and Uncle Vinny have entertained the masses at events; with Uncle Vinny even coining his unique style of dance that people enjoy.

However, this was not enough for Tweeps who have questioned why the young entertainer is on the nominee’s list. The list includes categories such as Best Amapiano Music Video, Best Amapiano Newcomer, Friends of Amapiano, Most Viral Amapiano Song Of The Year, Best Amapiano Dance Act, Amapiano Artist Of The Year, and of course Amapiano Song Of The Year.

Uncle Vinny is nominated in the Best Amapiano Dance Act category along with Cooper Pabi, who has also received backlash for being nominated. Riky Rick is another nominee tweeps are not crazy about. The rapper is being accused of “riding the amapiano wave” and not actually contributing much to the genre. A number of fans wanted to see the likes of Njelic, who has heated the dancefloor with songs such as Shesha Geza, Nana Thula, and Liyoshona, to name a few. Others, who enjoy what they call ‘private school amapiano’ – is what house music fans eould call Deep House, wanted to see Kelvin Momo on the list.

This is how the streets reacted:
