South African Amapiano star Zee Nxumalo recently opened up about her music journey through her new hit song, Mamma.
During her latest interview with Drum Magazine, the 23-year-old star, who previously asked R250K from her fans to shoot a music video, expressed her joy about the success of her song and also how Dlala Thukzin was the inspiration behind experimenting with classical elements.
"Mamma is doing very well, and people love it, so the song's buzz motivates me; it's a supply and demand thing, so I'll deliver. I never thought I could match his (Dlala Thukzin) beat, but I did. I freestyled the song, and some lyrics don't make sense, but it became a hit," she said.
The Amapiano star further mentioned how she would've loved to collaborate with the late Zahara as she thought that the singer would have been "the perfect fit," however, Zee also mentioned that she now wants to take her collaboration throughout Africa with the likes of Rema, Davido, and Omah Lay.
Zee Nxumalo reveals she never liked Amapiano
While she spoke about the collaboration she would love and also about the success of her hit song, Nxumalo also revealed that she never liked Amapiano or planned to make hits through the genre, as she always loved Afro-Pop.
She said:
"I didn’t set out to make Amapiano music—it just happened to me. At first, I wasn’t a fan. My real passion was always Afro-Pop, but I started making Amapiano because that’s what the market wanted, and my biggest hit ended up coming from it. I don’t feel any pressure, though, because I know every song performs differently. Things change over time, and being able to adapt is what helps you last."

Zee Nxumalo posted a screenshot of her Spotify profile, seemingly showing off her monthly listeners. Nxumalo made a mistake by saying she had two billion listeners instead of noting the two million.

However, little is known about whether it was a typo error while posting or if the star was clueless about the numbers.
