Speaking about the game, organiser Big Zulu told Daily Sun that the purpose is to unite artists and create a bond between them. Other genres would be able to battle it out and there might even be music concerts after the game.
โThe purpose of the game is to unite artists in the music industry. This means in the future, we will have other genres of music like kwaito vs amapiano on the pitch. Ultimately, we will host music festivals after each game,โ he said, adding that the winners will get a trophy and respect," he told the publication.
The winners of the game walked away with a trophy, courtesy of Hip Hop star JR and they also earned bragging rights. It was all laughs and giggles during the tournament and the winners (can you guess who they are?) celebrated hard.

The game started off on a positive note as both teams drew 2 - 2. It then had to be settled with a penalty show down which brought out the player's soccer skills. The timeline had deduced that Kwesta is the GOAT however not on the soccer pitch as he missed his penalty kick.
