Sjava’s win comes on the heels of a heated discussion he sparked in October about how social media influences artists. He pointed out how constant access to fan opinions can mess with creativity.

Sjava recently revealed how he and Lwah Ndlunkulu met at a studio camp set by Big Zulu in Bergville, KwaZulu-Natal, for the first time and recorded their collab.

Sjava’s team announced during his Sjava The 2018 Tour that his first live DVD recording, Inkanyezi, and EP with five songs have gone triple platinum.
