 "I'm so proud of my country. It's the most gifted yet underrated country but the world is feeling our hit. I'm at this club and they're playing 90% SA music and the DJ is American. Now that must tell you how powerful we are,” he wrote.

This revelation came a while after he acknowledged the power of Amapiano in the current South African trends. On November 16, he asked for a pardon saying his downplaying of the genre was uninformed.

Somizi has been documenting his dazzling trip in the Big Apple with photos and videos. From dining at the opulent Plaza Hotel to discovering all that the United States' largest metropolis has to offer.
