The awards have also been threatened to boycott by the public because of the political uncertainty in the country escalating from the government opposition.

“What is import at the moment, is supporting our own musicians not boycotting the awards. Lets first push these friends to the international platform because some of them have always worked hard to get there,” Kasuku said.
