While he thanked many of his followers and fans for the birthday messages, the Jerusalema hitmaker found himself laughing off trolls who poked fun at the fact that “he doesn't look as young” as he claims he is.
Master KG jokingly replied to the trolls who claimed that he looks more like a 42-year-old than 25, asking them what was wrong with them to be coming at him like that.
People Are out here saying I look 42 years old lool Ke eng ka lonal!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Feeling that maybe he needs to “come clean” with his “real age”, Master KG sarcastically revealed that he was 35 years old and not 25 as he tried to counter the abuse.
Okay guys I was kidding I'm 35 years old neh batho baka🤣🤣

The hitmaker added that while he may look old, age was nothing but a number and social media users needed to relax.

Even though he might be 25 years old, last year Master KG dominated 2020 and was the country's biggest “export”.
The Limpopo artist made major moves across the world with his hit song Jerusalema, getting praise from some of the world's biggest names and topping the charts overseas.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE last year, Master KG expressed how humbled he was by the huge reception to the song.
“It's so beautiful to see how Jerusalema has taken over the world, to see how far it has gone. The song did amazing at home, in December 2019 charting on each and every radio station. It ruled the streets and people created memories to the song.”
