Legendary US rapper Missy Elliot seemed to have been impressed by Tsonga rapper Sho Madjozi’s performance of her song John Cena on music platform Colors.

According to the description on its YouTube channel: “Colours is a unique aesthetic music platform showcasing exceptional talent from all around the globe, focused on promoting the most distinctive new artists and original sounds”.

Sho Madjozi is the fourth South African artist to perform on the platform.

At the time of publishing, Sho Madjozi’s performance had been viewed more than 126,000 times on a platform that boasts more than 3.5 million subscribers.

Apart from South Africans, her performance impressed East Africans because she was rapping in Swahili and Americans, who 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.”
