Zimbabweans on Twitter show Jah Prayzah the middle finger
"Team JP your support for the works is being recognized out there. We have a nomination fo the top entertainer at the @aeausa. The nomination in itself is a win. Go and vote on their website http://aeausa.net." Jah had written on Twitter.
Dear World. This so called artist @jahprayzah supports tyranny in his home country Zimbabwe through his music. I am shocked to see him nominated here. I am available in my personal capacity to furnish you with further reasons for not voting him. Thank you, Mazvita, Ngiyabonga.
