The controversy arose because the music video for her song ‘Damage’ was not easily accessible on platforms like YouTube, sparking questions about the fairness of the selection process.

In response to the backlash, Tahle We Dzinza has come forward to set the record straight. Through her management, she revealed that the video submitted for the NAMA award was actually done by film producer Jonathan Samukange, not by her directly. The video in contention was submitted by the video's director, Jonathan Samukange, who rightfully received recognition for his work.

Tahle We Dzinza emphasized that as an artist, she frequently collaborates with other creators, allowing them to showcase their talents using her music. The NAMA award, in this instance, was attributed to Jonathan Samukange for his directorial efforts, not to Tahle as the musician behind the song.
