“Bouga Luv was on fire. We thought nobody could stop him. Kalawa Jazzmee produced so many artist and talents, but they stay in their lane, very humble and disciplined. Should I continue?”

Nomantlane Bangani said: “I’d swallow those words if I were you.

The entertainment industry is like fashion. The music you’re making now is just for us. Enjoy for now. Humble yourself, my guy, and do what you do for now.”

“I wonder if Oskido can say the same words to him. Remember his days at Uhuru. He must stay humble. People come and go in this game,” commented Bongani Sibanda.
