You may think you know all there is to know about your favorite rapper, but here's some of those finer details about Senzo Mfundo Vilakazi aka Kwesta that you might not know.

1. While he was still on the come up, he called himself Quest

2. Kwesta and his lady got matching ring tattoos way before they even spoke about marriage. How cute is that?

Earlier this year, we all speculated that Kwesta and his girlfriend, Yolanda Mvelase, tied the knot traditionally but actually, it was just their Umembeso. An Umembeso is a traditional Zulu ceremony that takes place just before the wedding.

5. For the smash hit “Ngud’,” producer DJ Maphorisa slowed down Joakim‘s remix of “Camino Del Sol,” a 1982 house track from the French-Belgian group Antena, into “an old school kwaito tempo, making it a woozy beer anthem for the shebeens,” wrote OkayAfrica contributor KILLAKAM.


A Ngud is a 40 oz. - what the Americans would call a 40 ounce of beer.


The track was received so well that it made some of his caucasian fans wish they understood township slang. How cool is that?
