Black Twitter Shows Kamo Mphela Love After Her Performance On #BBMzansi Stage. Kamo Mphela parlayed her high profile as an amapiano dancer into a musical career, successfully transferring her physical swagger into a magnetic vocal presence. Her first forays into the entertainment industry were as a dancer and event MC in high school. After posting a series of viral dance videos on social media, she linked up with the late Killer Kau—first to dance, then on his 2019 single “Lebanta.”
Big Brother Mzansi returned to South African television on Sunday 23 January 2022 with thousands of fans tuning in. The highly-anticipated reality show hosted by actor Lawrence Maleka topped Twitter’s trending list, even before the show had started. Amapiano star Kamo Mphela also topped the trends list for her high-energy performance on the Big Brother Mzansi stage. Check out some reactions on Twitter:
One fan wrote, “Kamo Mphela was exposed to us at a very young age and as she develops into a young woman now ppl still want to see that kamo the kid aowa bathong even Justin Bieber o godile #BBMzansi #Kamomphela”
Kamo sought the experience of the deejay duo Major League DJz to help her career transition. Her blended upbringing in Durban suburbia and Johannesburg township life enabled her to glide easily between genres and identities, switching from high fashion to street culture in a beat. Amapiano bangers like “Sandton,” “Nkulunkulu,” and “Thula Thula” get the crowd moving whether she’s performing at a club or entertaining stadium-sized audiences at events like Ultra Music Festival South Africa 2020.
