Now South Africans want the wrestler to make it his entrance soundtrack, and one person even put together a clip of how awesome that might be.

Sho Madjozi was the fourth South African artist to perform on Colors.

At the time of publishing, Sho Madjozi’s performance had been viewed more than a million times on a platform that boasts more than 3.5 million subscribers.

Apart from its impression on South Africans, her performance impressed East Africans because she was rapping in Swahili. Americans said they had never heard her sound before.

“I love it. Thank you so much Colors, you always showcase the best artist I swear, I’ve never heard this type of music but the genuine happiness. She killed it,” said Adrianna Hubbard, while DJ KK Starboy wrote: “This is much love for swahili. We kenyans are happy and proud of you Sho Madjozi and South Africans.”

Legendary US rapper Missy Elliot also seemed to have been impressed by Sho Madjozi’s performance and took to Twitter to share fire emojis on a video of her performance.
