Winning song of the year turning out to be a curse for Dj HLO see what happened. GOSPEL artist Lwando “Jumbo” Nyangiwe will be holding a Song of the Year Celebration: Wena Nkosi Uyazi at Ibis Sports Ground in his home town of Umzimkhulu, KZN, on Friday, 7 January.

The event will be free and artists such as DJ Tira, Dladla Mshunqisi, the Qwabe Twins, Dumi Mkokstad, Ntencane and Khuzani Mpongose will be in attendance.

However what seemed to bother most people was the fact that artists such as DJ Hlo and Mthandeni “Igcokama Elisha” Manqele are not on the artist list which led to people to question what kind of a christian he was.

Jumbo told Daily Sun DJ Hlo was not his friend and he didn’t want her at his event.

“She’s not one of us and I don’t know her. This is my event and I only invited my friends but if she was to host an event and invite me, I’d happily attend. This is a free event and I will not have money to pay Amabhenanyawo or any other local artists,” he said.

Local maskandi artist Bahubhe Mkhize who is Jumbo’s friend said he noticed he’d been excluded. “I supported his music journey and I even featured him on my album. I am not going to complain but I am taking notes.”

Another maskandi artist Inyonemhlophe said he’d also supported Jumbo. He said: “I’m glad this is happening because it has exposed his true character.”

Mthandeni said Jumbo begged him to be part of the event. “But I’ve made it clear to him that I need money for my dancers. Once we finalise that, I’ll be there. I understand it’s a free event but my dancers need to be paid.”

It seems Jumbo did try to book DJ Hlo but she already had a gig, DJ Hlo’s manager Sindi Cele said.

“DJ Hlo has no problem with Jumbo and she will be inviting him to come and celebrate with her on 29 January,” said Sindi.
