Tweeps are urging the undisputed kings of amapiano production, Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa, to officially release their super trendy song Asive Happy, featuring Ami Faku.
They want the trio to officially drop the hit song just in time for former president FW de Klerk’s funeral.
PLAY ‘ASIBE HAPPY’
Tweeps feel that Kabza’s song, Asibe Happy which has taken over Mzansi would be a great send-off for the former South African president who passed today (11 November) at the age of 85.
Flocking to Twitter in droves, some tweeps were upset that the former head of state even heard the hit song in the first place.
Another tweep replied to Julius Malema’s tweet “Thank you God” with the song.
A tweep by the handle @shufflesdu tweeted that FW De Klerk ‘s family should not hold a state funeral if they don’t want people to come dance to the sounds of Asibe Happy at De Klerks’ grave.
Though the musician never replied to tweeps when they tagged him this afternoon, Sony Music South Africa confirmed that the hit song will officially be released on Friday 12 November.
