#artistlivesmatter

The above mentioned individuals, have decided to come together to prey on the desperatation of upcoming artists for them to benefit financially. @SportArtsCultur is therefore complacent for not following up on whether or not their funding actually serves its purpose.

A few months back one of @EvesAppleProdu1 artist Lushy #VoiceOfSilence was announced by @Nomonde_sky as the winner of the online poetry slam. He was suppose to be awarded a R5000 cash prize, but little did he know this was just an act put up by @Nomonde_sky and the organizers.

It is one thing when money hungry politicians, government officials and capitalist exploit the artist, but for it to be done by fellow artists who claim to stand is solidarity with us when we say #artistlivesmatter is just disgusting.

We don& #39;t choose to be artists, it is a gift which is turned into a curse by individuals like the ones mentioned above. Some of us have families to feed, who look at us and laugh when we claim we can make money with out gifts, and you& #39;d think fellow artists would understandhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">

We therefore ask if you& #39;ve read this thread to please help us hold these individuals accountable by retweeting and tagging relevant people to help.

If any of the judges are also victims of the organizers we would like to advise them to voice this out and stand with us in holding the organizers accountable. But if they got paid we want them to know they got paid to be complacent with all this fraud and their silence

Will be to us a symbol of their complacency and it will end in tears, we will not stop till justice is served and the life of the artist is recognized as that of a human not of a thing to be used for free entertainment or to increase subscribers on YouTube or following.

We would also like to ask the winners from the other categories (Hip Hop and Dance) of the the competition to voice out this exploitation of our talents.

Thank you for reading and your retweethttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏾" title="Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏾" title="Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
