The song's release was shrouded in controversy following fellow Limpopo hitmaker King Monada's claims that the song was originally his before it was released.
Despite this, the song has been doing incredibly well in just five months since its release.
The music video is currently sitting on a whopping nine million views on YouTube while the audio is close to reaching one million streams on global streaming giant Spotify.
The announcement was made at the launch of Makhadzi's Kokovha sneaker range.
A collaboration between Kicks Sportswear and Makhadzi, this new range marks one of the biggest ever commercial deals for a South African artist with a reported value in the region of R120-million.
