Kabza De Small Shows Young Stunna Love. Sandile Msimango, popularly known by his stage name Young Stunna is a South African singer. He is known for his hit singles “Bopha” and “Adiwele”. He has also extensively worked with record producers DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small.
He rose to fame in 2021 when he featured on Felo Le Tee and Mellow & Sleazy’s amapiano hit Bopha,. Riding on the wave of having made South Africans stand up and notice him, he has worked alongside Kabza De Small to create some of the biggest hits. Kabza who is his mentor, has taken to social media to show Young Stunna some love.
Young Stunna was a young and ambitious hip-hop artist trying to cut his teeth in 2013 before he jumped on the amapiano genre, and throughout his music journey, there has been one person constantly in his corner: his mom. The star said his mother knew he was a creative and supported him from the beginning. “My mom is the only person who pushed me to make it. I got feedback from people I met outside, my friends, and my relationships, but my mom was always that one person. She also said ‘if your music thing is not working you go back to school’.”
His parents are both creatives and passed their talents to their son. “My mom is a vocalist. She’s a creative. She used to dance, sing and act so she knew she passed that on to me. My father acted and danced. They met while doing these things so they knew they’d give birth to a creative.”
The hitmaker said he’s proud of the life he’s been able to provide for his mom, even if she can’t leave the house without being mobbed and asked about her son. “My mom is a celebrity. I swear she can’t go buy bread and that’s why I want to take her out. I want her to be free. You know how kasi is. It’s been a long time since a young person went out and said ‘I’m doing this music thing’ and succeeded. A lot of people are pushing music. There are events every weekend.
