In his latest album, Thato Ya Modimo, named after himself, Momo brings another timeless classic comprising several hits and an extensive guest list.

Released on 30 May 2025, the Bo Gogo hitmaker delivers 29 songs featuring the talented MaWhoo, Murumba Pitch, and ex-girlfriend, Babalwa M, who appears on three tracks.

The album comes right in time for Momo's anticipated Red Bull Symphonic event, the same event that Momo was suspected of ditching after fans noted his unusual behaviour.

Before that, Momo faced major backlash for cancelling several shows at once, something that has become synonymous with his name. He later released a statement, citing health issues, and promised to make it up to his fans:

"Due to unforeseen health issues, our artist, Kelvin Momo, fell ill, forcing us to cancel these highly anticipated gigs. We understand the excitement and anticipation surrounding these events and are deeply sorry for any disappointment this may have caused. The well-being of our team is paramount, and we had no choice but to prioritise Kelvin's health and recovery.

"We appreciate your understanding and support during this time and look forward to making up for these missed shows in the near future. Thank you for your continued support."
