The young rapper went viral after he posted a video snippet of Tshawe, which got over a million views. People have been singing along to his music since he trended in late August.

The youngster is from Delft, Cape Town, one of the most dangerous townships. Mido made sure to pump out more music during his successful wave and released a song titled Zikhona.

The song is about a young gold digger who messed up her well-rounded lifestyle to obtain materialistic things from older men. This is a relatable story, just like Tshawe, where Mido sings about a scammer who ran away with stokvel money and targets older women.

The rapper’s following on TikTok has grown and is now sitting at 37.8k followers. Mzansi cannot wait to hear more from the rising star and requests collaborations with major artists in the future.
