Just a few days ago, Ukhozi FM announced that a young artist named DJ Hlo has been awarded Song of the Year for 2021. Many people were instantly confused by the news because not many of them heard of DJ Hlo or her music. She subsequently received a lot of backlash as locals criticised Ukhozi FM.

She has since come out to say that her lawyers will be dealing with anyone who spreads lies and fake news about her.

It’s been less than a week since Ukhozi FM announced DJ Hlo as the recipient of the Song of the Year Award for her track Isibani.

Since the news hit, South Africans have expressed confusion over the fact that an unknown artist snatched the award from popular musicians such as Kabza de Small and Maphorisa.

Many people also started saying that DJ Hlo’s win is a result of her close relationship with the Zumas after a photo of her posing with Carl Niehaus surfaced online. She has since clapped back at those people by threatening to take legal action:

Isibani is not a song that just came out of the blue. I released this track a long time ago, encouraging people to vote for it and download it. After this Ukhozi FM opened its entries for the Song of The Year and I encouraged people to nominate it and vote for it,” she said.

“Those who spread false information about me which is not true, my legal team is on top of that. They will be dealt with because that is a defamation of character. They are turning me into a complete different person and that is not okay, so my legal team is on top of that,” said DJ Hlo in an interview with Isolezwe.

A lot of support

Despite all of the drama, DJ Hlo says she has received a ton of support from those who know how hard she worked to make herself and the song a success.

“I have a very strong support system behind me. My family has been very supportive. With all the craziness that’s been going on, I know I have that calm when I go back home,” she said.

“Even though there’s a lot of backlash on social media, there are also people that are rooting for me at the same time so I chose to focus on the positive comments.”
