However, DJ Speedsta who hosts the show alongside Lamiez Holworthy was shocked to get informed about the cancellation of the show on social media and not directly from SABC. Though, Speedsta later confirmed that the show is indeed over.
“Lol. Damn!! You really couldn’t wait for this one hey?! To tell you the truth, I was waiting for a Phil Mphela update about “1’s & 2’s” earlier in the year. Even tweeted you. All good. Yeah we cancelled & outdated G,” SJ Speed said.
Hao King.
I hope you not mad at me for doing my job and announcing the news.
Just saw your tweet that you didn’t know the show is getting canned.
Sorry about that but that’s on Urban Brew & SABC for not telling you.
Live is a bigger story than 1s and 2s.
Harde bro. https://t.co/ktdLjThWlJ

I’m sorry the channel and production company didn’t do you guys the courtesy of informing you before SABC shared the news.
When a press statement lands in my inbox from a channel, I gotta run the story. https://t.co/bdyCc0eSJX

However, the last season, season 25 will be airing tomorrow.
Season 25 of Live Amp starts tomorrow.
A lot of things have happened but this was originally my dream job! 29 years old, Lot’s of hard work & we’re here!!!
That’s all that matters.
Cheers 🥂❤️
