BanT, Dramaboi, Amantle Brown top YAMAs mominee list

Rapper BanT real name Baanthata Mokgwathi dominated the crop of nominees with seven nominations. The Naomi hitmaker has been nominated for the Best Collabo, Best Hip hop/Motswako Single, Song of the Year, People’s Choice, Artist of the Year, Best Newcomer and Best Single Male.

In an interview with Showbiz, he said he was humbled by the love and support he received throughout. “I didn’t expect many nominations,” he said.

He thanked Faded Gang and his manager Zenzele Hirschfeld.
