Rapper Kwesta is never one to toot his own horn but he recently thanked his day ones who made his show a success. 

The Ngudu hit maker took to his Instagram timeline to express his gratitude to those who rallied behind him for his show The 16th Bar that took place at the Big Top Arena at Carnival City last weekend. 

''What do I even say? I’ve been here 16 years. Been at the bottom, been in the middle, been at the top. With all the accolades I have, none means more to me than your hearts. Some rapper once said 'F**k the charts, get their hearts because the love is the only real treasure we own'. On this night of The 16th Bar eight years after that line, you proved him right and gave me your hearts. I can only hope I show you enough of mine. Thank you for everything.''

Kwesta also thanked the artists who graced the stage and the concertgoers who stayed on when they were experiencing technical glitches and were behind schedule.

''I mean did you hear the band? The brass piece? The strings? Did you see the lighting? The graphics? The BV’s? The choir? The dancers? The hosts? Geez bro. Did you see that stage? I didn’t do this alone. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. You guys know yourselves. You soldiered for me, and I love you for it,'' he wrote. 

Reason recently sung praises for Kwesta by sharing how he admired him for pulling this off. 

''Thank you so much for the great show and best family reunion anybody could ask for. I am so honoured to have been a part of your history. Your legacy. And greatness. I love you bro. You are my friend, my brother, my partner and my nigga. But last night you stepped once again as my leader. My idol. And my inspiration. 

“Between the two of us you always did everything big first. Always showing me that it’s possible. I thank you. And I thank God and your ancestors for your life, soul, mind, heart and talent. Congratulations soldier. You did a great job,'' he wrote.
