Amapiano maestro Kabza De Small is proving once again why he is dubbed the King of Amapiano. His latest album, Bab’Motha, has officially crossed the 10 million stream mark on Apple Music in just seven days — a massive milestone that further cements his dominance both locally and internationally.
Released earlier this month, Bab’Motha has not only taken over charts across South Africa but also made waves globally. According to official streaming stats, the album charted in 27 countries on Apple Music, making it the most globally charted South African album of 2025 to date. Kabza’s project landed at #9 on Top Albums Global (July 18–20, 2025), a historic feat for a homegrown South African artist.
Kabza’s momentum was already in motion ahead of the release, boasting 3 million Spotify monthly listeners, and that number continues to rise. On the third day alone, Bab’Motha racked up 678.95K streams, signaling massive fan anticipation and global reach.
Two standout tracks from the project, “Ngiyozama” and “Siyabonga,” are leading the charge on the charts. In fact, Kabza currently holds the most top-charting songs in South Africa, with “Ngiyozama” sitting at No. 6 and “Siyabonga” not far behind at No. 15 on major streaming charts.
Fans across the world have taken to social media to celebrate the album’s success, hailing Kabza as a cultural export who continues to elevate South African music to new heights. His seamless blend of soulful vocals, deep-rooted Amapiano rhythms, and collaborative genius with artists like Young Stunna, Nkosazana Daughter, and Mthunzi has made Bab’Motha a repeat-worthy masterpiece.
Not only is Kabza celebrating numbers, but he’s also making history. The album sits at #35 on Spotify’s Most Top Charts: South Africa, proving its strong hold both at home and abroad.
As the accolades continue to pour in, Kabza De Small is showing no signs of slowing down. Bab’Motha is more than an album — it’s a movement, and one that’s putting Amapiano firmly on the global map.
