So when it was announced that he was going to be the opening act at “The Street Tour” concert in America, tweeps wondered what type of music he would be playing.

Andile’s most well-known song is Umcimbi ft Madanon and Distruction Boyz. It has over 1.2 million views on YouTube and was released in 2020.

However, tweeps were questioning how Andile managed to get into an American music lineup alongside big names.

There were jokes that he possibly paid his way into the lineup and that his music didn’t live up to the standard of this lineup.

How much did mamkhize have to pay to secure this deal ? Because there's no way his music is what got him the spot. Especially since they are many better musicians and artists singing different genres.

Earlier in the week, social media had a field day after Mpisane returned to the soccer field to show off his football skills.

This lead to netizens wondering if his music career was over. However, it was an indication he was merely returning to the field after his break.

However, tweeps made fun of his football skills.
