Young Stunna A Grand-Pa User?

Young Stunna is one of the most popular of musicians, particularly Amapiano, to have emerged at the height of the lockdown and its strict restrictions. A success which is so apt that arguably his breakout song which made him a household name was the “lockdown protest struggle song,” Bopha by Mellow and Sleazy, featuring the vocalist on the hit summer track. But now it seems that the musician and fashion icon aspirant might be arrested in the future, but this time not for reasons we might think as it is alleged that he is a Grand-pa user. 

Before we throw out allegations which we can’t prove, even with video “evidence.” Let us first celebrate Young Stunna and why he is trending. 

Today, on Friday, 19 August 2022, rap legend K.O following demands and almost a five year wait began the roll-out for his much anticipated fourth studio album, SR3.  The album is one of the most anticipated projects for Hip-Hop heads as the 2017 release of SR2 which was the continuation of K.O’s iconic debut album Skhanda Republic. 

The first single from the release was the Amapiano-meets-Soulful-House-meets-Hip-Hop mid tempo single Sete. The single features Blxckie and Young Stunna. A tell-tale sign that K.O was looking to capitalise on the status and popularity of the New-Age artists meant to represent the future of Hip-Hop and Amapiano. While the features were meant to bring awareness to the single and the upcoming full album release, it would instead bring another matter to another more salacious matter which was previously under looked.   

Hate it or love it, Podcast and Chill with MacG,Sol Phenduka and Ghost Lady has become a cultural reset in South Africa. As such, the show has given fans and the general public colloquialism which have become everyday terms. Think, “which one is this one,” or “awusabi yini.” One of the latest ones was the term of Grand-pa which was from the pun master and Dineo Ranaka’s sidekick, Sol Phenduka. 

Since then the term, colloquially, has then associated what is also commonly and universally referred to as “snow.” Therefore, as Sete climbed up on the trends list on Twitter, other popular and most engaged content surrounding the artists on the song began to circulate. One in particular put Young Stunna in the fire as we discover how the artist can maintain his demanding live performance schedule with the same energy and vigour. 

On Thursday, 11 August 2022, the infamous Twitter gossip page Musa Khawula shared a video alleging that Young Stunna was a user of Grand-pa. In the video in question, the Camagu hitmaker is seen in his travel bus before a performance. In between the midst of dancing to the music in the car and amping himself for his upcoming performance, the vocalist is seen coyly playing around his nose; a tell-tale sing and action for those who are attempting to use the white substance as seen in movies and television shows. 

Whether true or not, remains to be confirmed as Young Stunna and camp has yet to share any official word on the matter.
