South African Amapiano star Toss has made waves in the music industry with his bold declaration that he will one day surpass the global success of Nigerian superstar Burna Boy. The Umlando hitmaker shared his ambitious vision during an interview with Daily Sun, where he reflected on his career and the transformative impact Amapiano has had on his life.
At 25, Toss has become a standout figure in the Amapiano genre, a vibrant sound that has gained widespread popularity not just in South Africa but across the world. Known for his dynamic stage presence and catchy tunes, Toss revealed that Amapiano has been a game-changer for him. “This genre has impacted my life positively; I can put bread on my family’s tables,” he stated, emphasizing how his success has provided financial security for his loved ones.
Toss’s confidence in his future was palpable as he spoke about his aspirations. “Globally, we are going bigger than Burna Boy. Keep this recording. You will see it,” he boldly proclaimed. His statement is a testament to his belief in his potential and the momentum behind Amapiano as it continues to captivate audiences worldwide. While Burna Boy is an established international icon with Grammy wins and sold-out arenas, Toss sees himself breaking similar barriers, if not more.
The young artist didn’t shy away from discussing the challenges that come with fame. He acknowledged that while his rise to prominence has been rewarding, it comes with pressures that can be difficult to navigate. “Dealing with fame, I think it’s good to stay true to who you are. If you are able to do it, you’ll be able to detect things that aren’t for you and things that are for you,” Toss shared, underscoring the importance of staying grounded.
Toss credited his family as his anchor in the often chaotic world of fame, noting that they help him maintain clarity and peace of mind. “Family keeps you grounded, and you can see things properly and move with peace,” he said, further highlighting the role of loved ones in his journey.
The Amapiano artist is currently working on new music and hinted at an upcoming EP that promises to build on his current momentum. With his confidence and dedication to his craft, Toss is setting his sights high and aiming for a global reach that could redefine his career. Whether or not he achieves the level of success he envisions, his determination and talent have already made him one of Amapiano’s most exciting acts.
