MZANSI'S TWEEPS HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT LOVE AND HIP HOP' Twitter's reaction to the upcoming release of SA's own Love & Hip Hop' series at the end of the month is maybe not exactly what the producers are hoping for.

According to MTV Africa, the show will follow the lives of eight South African hip-hop stars as they navigate daily life, love, the local music industry, and family dynamics. The show will consist of 13 jam-packed episodes and feature artists, including Da L.E.S, Shane Eagle, and Fifi Cooper, EWN reports.

TWITTER NOT SURE ABOUT NEW SHOW Although the American franchise racks up hundreds and thousands of viewers, South African Tweeps feel that it's perhaps not the right time for a show like Love and Hip Hop SA'.

Some don't like the cast, while others feel that the show won't be interesting enough.

This is one TV franchise that should never set foot out of America Nkosi yam

I feel like MTV really fumbled on this one. Instead of Love and hip hop South Africa, they should have gone with Ex on the beach South Africa. Go nyiwe once. pic.twitter.com/439qWf81kn

We have a global pandemic of mid rappers this lineup is as disappointing as the Love and Hip Hop SA or Joburg or whatever they calling it https://t.co/0guozzkwVF

Lol, looking at the #LoveAndHipHopSA cast and I wouldn't say they all fell off. Hip Hop is not exactly dominating mainstream music at the moment, but we can't say Shane Eagle and Yanga Chief fell off.
