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.

Jah Prayzah was conspicuous with his silence despite calls by his fans to join the rest of the celebrities.
Jah prayzah should go and sing to the presidium, kutonga kwaro gamba and get his vote there here we stand with BurnaBoy, we are clear on that, we are tired of the oppressor's side show
