Breakout star in 2024 Usimamane, real name Omuhleumnguni Simamane, is showing no signs of slowing down.
After owning the charts with his smash hit Cheque and scooping three Metro FM Music awards earlier this year, the Umlazi-born rapper just added more wins to his growing list.
On Thursday Usimamane was honoured at YFM's studios in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, where his label, Gamma Records, handed him a plaque celebrating his musical milestones.
His hit Uvalo featuring Sjava has officially gone double platinum, while Bank and Star are both certified gold solidifying his spot among South Africa's hottest talents right now.
But it doesn’t end there. Usimamane has just been announced as a brand ambassador for Converse, further cementing his status as a cultural icon on the rise.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he said: “I am all about culture and embracing ... the culture of where I come from, my roots. I really like to speak about what I am going through in my songs in that moment of time.”
The rapper also made international moves earlier this year when he shot the video for Dangerous II in Cape Town, featuring US rap heavyweight Rick Ross
