GERMANY-based songbird, Awakhiwe Sibanda, emerged as the people’s favourite female rapper over the weekend when she came up against other African rappers from different nations.
Awa Khiwe was featured by Chop Daily as part of the prominent hip hop artists on the African continent.
People referred to her as the African rap queen after she came up against Eno Ebony from Ghana, Petra from Kenya and South Africa-based Nadia Nakai.
