‘I almost shed a tear’- Kamo Mphela on being body-shamed

Kamo Mphela says she almost teared up after some social media users oozed hatred on her.

The entertainer is one of the most loved young South African stars, though a sect have been actively trolling her on Twitter.

She was body shamed last year after gaining more weight, some persons even rumored that she’s pregnant, all of which she didn’t embrace.

Kamo shared a video of herself doing the Trigger dance challenge, and it got more reviews, but some persons shamed her once again, and it dealt with her emotions.

We are trying to help. Obesity is not a good health state and definitely not one to promote. It comes with serious long term complications.

WATCH: Kamo Mphela slaps a man for grabbing her b00ty while performing

The Amanikiniki hit singer is not here to play games with you. Kamo Mphela gave a hot slap to a guy who touched her while performing, and fans were happy. Kamo Mphela was the headlining act in the Mandacosia All Black event held at Kwabusa Car Wash in Kwaggafontein Mpumalanga Province.

If you look at Kamo Mpela’s music videos and live performances, you’ll notice that she has a very distinct way of dressing, especially when performing. Kamo loves wearing shorts, runner tights, faux leather leggings, mini skirts, all with sneakers and heels. Unfortunately, some men think that when a woman dresses this way, she’s craving female attention, which is not necessarily true. Kamo is a performer who dances on stages from routines that took hours and days to perfect. When dancing, she doesn’t need excess fabric on her legs that will restrict her movements. As much as her stage clothes make bold fashion statements, they also allow her the flexibility to move.

Kamo was on the stage, and the unidentified man close reached his hand out to touch her. Kamo found this disrespectful, and it was well within her right to feel so. Without wasting time, she gave the fellow a hot slap to defend her honour.

Public figure or not, everyone has the right to consent to be touched. Celebrities are also people, and they also have this right despite people feeling entitled over them because they’re their supporters. Earlier in the year, Phindile Gwala got into an altercation in a club with a fan because she took photos of the actress without consent. Phindile Gwala ended up smashing the fan’s phone to the ground. Rapper AKA has also been involved in a similar scenario where he broke a fan’s phone when she took a Snapchat video with him without his consent. Fans applauded Kamo Mpela for slapping the guy and said the slap was very satisfying to watch.

Amapiano superstar Kamo Mphela is celebrating her birthday today and her fans flooded her comments section with sweet birthday messages. Her biggest fan though Sbahle Mzizi did not only send a sweet birthday message but she also will be paying her a virtual visit at her birthday celebration at Zone 6.

Kamo will be celebrating her 22nd birthday today at Zone 6 Venue and some of the hottest acts will be gracing the stage whether for performance or appearance and it will be lit.Kamo Mphela

These include Cassper Nyovest, Kabza De Small, Focalistic, Shasha, Busiswa, Cooper Pabi, Musa Keys and so much more.

Another ZAleb making way to the venue is Ntando Duma but she will not be working, instead, she will simply be there to get her daughter Sbahle Mzizi some footage of her idol rocking the stage and get whatever clips she can for her.

In a hilarious IG post, Ntando said her daughter will be happy that she made this sacrifice for her as she is Kamo’s biggest fan. “Tomorrow I will be at Zone 6 Venue. I will be standing in as a representative for Sbahle as she is Kamo Mphela’s biggest stan.

“I’ll be coming back home later to show her footage I took from the event and I’ll definitely be “forced” to give her the 411. She’s going to be so happy that I did this for her, zalani ke (give birth.)”

Sbahle also sent a message to her and attached a picture of the both of them saying, “I love you.”

Ntando and Sbahle are the cutest and most adored mother and daughter duo on social media right now. Ntando always gets rewarded with praises from people and a stranger even gave her money to spoil Sbahle.

“A guy gave me 1K at Moja Cafe today as a token of appreciation for being a great mother to my daughter, she said. He said watching me effortlessly doing it helped him a lot with raising his own kids. He said A LOT and my heart is so, so warm,” Ntando tweeted.

“Did I not start weeping at a groove! Yho! Bab’ MndebeleIf you see this tweet just know that you’ve given me even more courage and strength to continue doing this ngokuy’khandla nango Thando (with love and dedication). I actually have no words Kodwa izandla zidlula ikhanda Ngiyabonga (I am amazed thank you),” she wrote.

She then shared a screenshot of the man telling her to buy Sbahle breakfast with that R1000, “Well.. He actually said I should buy Sbahle breakfast, akusiyona eyam (it is not mine.)”

Ntando Duma recently made headlines for lying about being on a date with Wizkid. Ntando was on the train which transported some of the ZAlebs on a trip with the Friends Of Amstel trip to Kimberly Hole. She shared a picture and said it was taken by Wizkid.

A blogger said Ntando had dinner with Wizkid but was quickly called out on his lie. Ntando too laughed at the blogger.

Mzansi react to how much Kamo Mphela charges for a show

Kamo Mphela has become one of the most sought-after Amapiano artists in South Africa. Her brand is rising, and so is her price. Fans who pay to attend gigs always wonder how much Kamo Mphela charges for a show.

The rise of Kamo Mphela

The Amapiano star started as a dancer and switched her career to singing and recording Amapiano music. The Soweto-born artist’s passion for dancing started at an early age as she accompanied her father, who worked for YFM to live events.

Acting

Kamo tried her luck in the showbiz business by securing an acting gig with the now-defunct soap opera Isibaya. Her career in acting did not go according to plan, and she revealed that she did not have a passion for acting.

She harnessed the power of social media to share videos of her dancing skills, growing her brand to become one of the best dancers in the country. She got the nickname ‘Amapiano Queen’ as she pursued a full-time career as a dancer at shows.

Major League DJs signed her to their stable and helped her release her first EP, Twenty. Her music career blossomed, and she released Nkulunkulu, a song-certified platinum.

She collaborated with MFR Souls to produce a hit Amanikiniki. The track became number one on Good Hope Music and won the House Music top ten charts.

In one of the highlights of her budding career, Kamo performed at the AmaFest in the UK in September this year, sharing the stage with Cassper Nyovest, Focalistic and DBN Gogo.

Amapiano artists are one of the most sought-after entertainers in South Africa due to the music genre’s popularity. The artists are reaping huge rewards from their hard work of popularising the genre.

Music promoters revealed Amapiano artists mainly charge from R20,000 to R200,000 for a gig.

Entertainment commentator Musa Khawula reported Kamo charges R35,000, excluding the transport and accommodation of her team. One of the top earners of the Amapiano movement is DJ Maphorisa, who reportedly charges R76,000 per gig.

Kamo Mphela’s booking fee has Mzansi talking

Kamo Mphela is reportedly charging a minimun of R35k for booking fee. A Twitter user shared details about her booking fee and it has people talking, as some find it unbelievable, while others say it’s too low for the kind of performance she serves at gigs.

The Amapiano singer and dancer bagged an award over the weekend at the first SA Amapiano Awards, for the Best Amapiano Dance Act category.

A tweep with the name, Musa Khawula, who claims to dish out entertainment news revaled that you must have nothing less than R35k to book the 22-year-old.

“Booking Kamo Mphela costs R35 000. The fee does not include travel and accommodation. Flights or transport for 5 people: manager, Kamo, 2 dancers and a DJ,” he explains.

Opinionated persons have taken to the post to express their thoughts about the fee.
