Johannesburg - The SA Hip Hop Awards just can't catch a break!
Not only has it been accused of being sexist and "dick riders" by the outspoken Ntsiki Mazwai (read her comments here) it's also had to deal with the wrath of musician, Toya Delazy.
Taking to Twitter shortly after the nominees were announced, Toya vented about the obvious lack of female MCs on the list.
#SAHHAS disgust me! females basically don't exist in South African hip hop ? how are yall not recognizing chicks and only nominate 2 !?

What's that they say about hell hath no fury like a female rappers scorned?
