Busiswa slams Sfiso Ndlovu's seemingly drunken rant about Tyla's SAMA moment

A video of Sfiso Ndlovu appearing highly intoxicated has set social media ablaze, following his disparaging remarks about the recent South African Music Awards. The podcaster took aim at the moment international sensation Tyla invited her peers to celebrate her International Achievement Award on stage.

Stars like Makhadzi, DJ Tira, and Cassper Nyovest joined the 'Water' hitmaker to mark the milestone, but Ndlovu viewed the display of unity as an insult. He criticized the seasoned artists for being 'summoned' by a younger performer, sparking an immediate backlash from fans and industry colleagues.

Busiswa Calls Out the Behavior

Singer Busiswa did not hold back in her response to the viral clip. While acknowledging the podcaster's personal journey, she firmly condemned his attitude and the way he addressed his fellow creatives during the outburst.

Public sentiment has been largely unfavorable toward Ndlovu, with many users describing his comments as both disrespectful to Tyla's global success and dismissive of the camaraderie shown by the veteran artists who stood by her.

A Pattern of Controversy

This latest incident follows a string of scandals for the Music Pulse host. Earlier in 2026, he faced intense heat for bodyshaming Thatohatsi, an act that required a public apology but left many viewers skeptical of his conduct.

Despite the outcry, his co-host Nota Baloyi stepped in to defend him. Baloyi is no stranger to legal and social battles himself, having faced defamation suits from major industry figures like Black Coffee and Shimza in the past.

Tyla Under Fire from Multiple Angles

Ndlovu is not the only one casting shadows on Tyla's recent achievements. Rapper Da L.E.S also faced the wrath of the 'Tygers' fan base recently after he questioned the singer's artistry and her latest musical releases.

As Tyla continues her meteoric rise on the global stage, the South African industry remains divided between those celebrating her historic wins and critics who continue to question her influence at home.
