How Momo landed on Drake's radar

Drake has always been a Kelvin Momo fan. Sliding into his DMs in 2023, the rapper glorified his music, saying, “You, my friend, are from another planet. Listening to you is like a religious experience.”

Failing to contain his excitement, Momo shared a screenshot of the DM and expressed his disbelief.

"Waking up to such...speechless! Le re nna ke etsa hanyani, Jokes aside. Getting a DM from Drake means a lot I don’t even know what to say but am grateful man."

In 2024, he hopped on Kelvin's Instagram live and left goat emojis. Momo gave his listeners a taste of what he was working on at the time.
