Amidst much criticism, the song "Bana Mandla" by Mozambican musician Killua Rafael has reached encouraging YouTube viewing numbers in just two weeks, surpassing 200,000 views, prompting the artist to celebrate with his followers on social media.
The news was announced by the musician on his social media accounts, where in his caption he mentioned being the target of criticism. While some remained unmoved and continued to criticize the artist, Killua Rafael received numerous compliments and positive messages from those he considers his true followers.
This song was released about two weeks ago and follows a style that is unusual for the artist's lineage, which is Marrabenta, and this "Bana Mandla" is sung in the "Amapiano" style originating from neighboring South Africa and has been taking the world by storm.
It's worth remembering that criticism of the musician began during the local election campaign, when he was affiliated with the ruling party at a time when the people wanted to distance themselves from it due to the country's situation. The criticism grew until he was accused of imitating Mr. Bow in his new song, which some internet users consider to have the same beats in terms of sound.
Another criticism arose just under a week ago when, according to some followers, the artist mocked his fans by posting on his social media that "Not everyone is eating cabbage" at a time when people are complaining of hunger.
Please note that the musician is currently on vacation at Bilene beach, where this toll was collected.
