Speaking on some of the challenges of being an artist in South Africa, Busta said: “Firstly, some people don’t want to give us what we are worth. For example, I charge 50k right now locally, and 20k when I skip the province. I present my price to the promoters, and they don’t want to give e the full amount.”
While for a package of Busta 929, Mpura, and Malome Vector costs R40 000. Another package of Busta 929, DJ Maphorisa and Sjava costs R76 000.

“Umsebenzi Wethu” has been the talk of the town since the track was released and thus flaming up and creating a dance challenge. To some yanos heads, the track will continue topping the chart of their favourite amapiano songs for as long as amapiano is relevant. “I knew that Umsebenzi Wethu would be a huge song when I was still making it. And I made sure that the song becomes a hit, because I was very sad when I made that hit.
