Ayanda Ncwane Recalls AKA Refusing To Share A Room With Gospel Artist Sfiso Ncwane
Ayanda Ncwane Recalls AKA Refusing To Share A Room With Gospel Artist Sfiso Ncwane. Ayanda Ncwane has shared a candid industry memory that pairs star power with a slice of irony.
Speaking about a past awards weekend, the media personality recalled a moment when the late rap icon AKA, affectionately known as Supa Mega, brushed off the idea of bunking with her husband, the late gospel powerhouse Sfiso Ncwane.
“Supa Mega, he’s like ‘no, I can’t share with a gospel boy,’” Ayanda recounted. “But then, strange enough, by the end of the night, this same gospel artist won the biggest award of the night, Record of the Year.”

The recollection lands with a smile rather than a sting. It sketches a very human portrait of two towering figures from different corners of South African music, each fiercely rooted in their genre, each commanding devoted audiences. In Ayanda’s telling, the room-share refusal was less malicious and more the kind of playful, confident line that often swirls around backstage, where personas meet logistics and egos jostle with schedules.
What followed is the twist that fans will savour. Sfiso’s triumph with Record of the Year turned the night into a masterclass in narrative reversal, a reminder that stages have a way of rewriting the script. The anecdote also nods to how gospel and hip hop, while stylistically apart, share a core engine of conviction, testimony, and crowd-moving energy. On that night, the gospel voice carried the biggest accolade, and everyone, Supa Mega included, had to tip a cap to the moment.
