In a world full of entertainment-related beefs, Zakes Bantwini decided to share some love and positivity when he publicly praised K.O at the YFM radio station, a few days before the rapper’s one-man concert at Constitution Hill which took place on Saturday.
In a video shared by YFM, Zakes (real name Zakhele Madida) says that while driving to his office, he heard that K.O (real name Ntokozo Mdluli) was at the radio station. He then went on to show his appreciation for the Rockabye rapper, stating, “I think there’s one thing that people should actually understand – how tough it is to stay on top in this game. K.O has been doing this for a very long time and we started doing these shows while I was still a manager… and they were still with Teargas back in 2007.”
Zakes then spoke about K.O’s chart-topper Sete, which earned him multiple Metro FM Awards nominations.
“It’s 2023 and you still have a number one record. It’s so funny that it was Osama [Zakes’ song], it did like crazy numbers on the radio and he came with Sete and beat Osama.
“It’s such an amazing thing and K.O has been there man, for a very long time. I think the game owes him a lot and that’s why… I need to show love.”
