Minister of Sports, Arts And Culture in South Africa made Nomcebo and Master KG ambassadors to the world after their hit song put SA on the map.

He took to Twitter to congratulate the two, “We are exceptionally proud of our ambassadors, @MasterKGsa and @Nomcebozikode! Your patriotism shall go down the annals of history. Continue to pick up the fallen spears of your predecessors in representing our motherland in such a unifying and unprecedented manner.

His win was met with praises from fans who have handed the year 2020 to him. Many of the industry mates have congratulated Master KG for his big win.

An equally integral part in the making of the song, Nomcebo congratulated Master KG by saying, “Congrats choma @MasterKGsa for winning the best African act at the MTV EMA. I’m so proud of you my friend, here’s to many more.”

The producer shared two more milestones in his career, before scoring himself this EMA. First, he is featured at number one on a United Kingdom Top Ten music chart, beating fellow Africans like WizKid, Davido and Burna Boy. Master KG and the Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy have worked on collaboration before and remixed Master KG’s hit song, Jerusalema.

“The advantages of working with him include that he has reached a level I am still working towards, so featuring him will expose me to a lot of people, including his market, which is obviously bigger than mine. People who didn’t know me will get to know me more.”

He also scored himself another international nomination for the NRJ Music Awards 2020. This year does belong to Master KG indeed!
