Kwesta reached the milestone recently said he was humbled by South Africa’s response to the track. The success of Ngud’ has also seen Kwesta’s latest album‚ Dakar II‚ reach platinum status.

He joined the likes of Pitch Black Afro‚ Cassper Nyovest‚ K.O‚ Riky Rick‚ AKA and Emtee‚ in selling over 40‚000 copies of an album.
Despite waiting several years for his chance in the limelight‚ Kwesta said that he didn’t make the album to prove anything to the world. “It feels absolutely amazing to have received so much love. I’ve come to realise that Ngud’ is no longer my song. It doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to South Africa. It is their anthem‚” he said.
“I was introducing myself on my first album and by the second album I wanted to prove to the world that I had what it takes to be a star. This album I was far more relaxed. I just wanted to make good music. There were no agendas.
“I know how hard it is to sell albums nowadays‚ especially a double-disc album like Dakar II. You get to a point where you worry if it is maybe not ‘too much’ for fans. But to have the album‚ and not just one song like Ngud’‚ bought so many times is just proof that I am doing the right thing‚” Kwesta said.
He admits that the pressure is now on to make a bigger and better album.
“There’s a lot of pressure. I have already started on the new album and I am happy with it so far but I would never be content to release something that is not better than Dakar II‚” he added

Colt said, "I still f—king love her," and was even open to taking another chance on their relationship…and then Larissa brought out her current boyfriend,  Eric . This set both Colt and mom  Debbie  off. "You're a piece of s—t now," Debbie told Larissa. "I hope you get deported." Because it wouldn't be Colt and Larissa without drama, Larissa did the digital equivalent of storming out: she hung up. They got her back on the line, then Colt stormed out. Just like old times. Watch 90 Day Fiance Stars Chantel & Pedro Talk New Show & More After Eric left the screen, Colt came back and the two bickered some more. Larissa said she just wanted them both to have happiness, but Colt said he wanted her gone. Three weeks la
