In the post, he thanked fans for their "continuous support and love."

The accomplishment has been hailed by the artist's friends and fans, including fellow musician Vusi Nova. Vusi wrote "you deserve it ntwana."

Musa, who won Idols in 2013, recently teamed up with legendary music producer Robbie Malinga to release his latest single, Mthande.

Robbie told TMG Entertainment that he was honoured to work with Musa.

"I have been fortunate to work with the best at home and Musa fits well into that criteria of good musicians. He is one talented singer that knows what he is doing. For me, it's not about music. It's about spirit. It's about soul. It's not about just making a song. We need to feel each other and meet each other in spirit. That's my secret. I need to know everything about you and what makes you who you are for it to be a hit," Robbie says.
