‘It is just great for me that we finally have a sound that is representing South Africa. Because afrobeats represented Nigeria mostly. So, the fact that we have a sound that is from South Africa and it is representing where we are from, is a beautiful thing.’
Nyovest, however, said he has no intention of jumping on the Amapiano trend.
In another report, a Chief District Court of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, his Honour, Emmanuel Iyanna, has placed a restraining order on-air-personality mister Kayode Oladotun popularly known as Do2dtun, from posting defamatory posts against singer Oladapo Oyebanjo, also known as D’banj, on social media or any other platform.
