Fat Joe can be seen wriggling from to side while bobbing his head to the tune of the drums and bass.

A poster with various fellow US rappers, including himself, adorns the wall behind him, with several soft drinks and alcoholic beverages laid out on a table below it.

"You all know 'bout that sh*t right there ... wooo!" Fat Joe excitedly beams out seven seconds into the clip before pausing momentarily and then enjoying the rest of the proudly South African tune.

The video was viewed around 194 000 times at the time of publication while attracting almost 10 500 likes and 3 000 retweets.

Amused Mzansi social networking users had plenty of reactions to the viral video, notably enjoying everything the rapper had to offer.
