The 22-year-old actor shared a teaser clip of his upcoming single on the 19 June. He worked with TheologyHD and amapiano vocalists Aymos Shili, Masterpiece and Lesa Molapo on the track named after Cartoon Network’s animated series Ben 10.

Buthelezi captioned the Instagram post, “Drop date for Ben 10 ? Seekay X TheologyHD ft Aymos Shili, Masterpiece & Lesa Molapo”.

Support from fellow actors

Although Buthelezi hasn’t revealed the release date yet, fellow actors have already expressed their excitement for the upcoming release.

Blood & Water actress Ama Qamata wrote on Twitter:

When it comes to amapiano?! Bro you’re up NEXT your songs are so vibey man” 

Fans spammed the rest of the comments section with different dates for the album’s release date, but we’re yet to hear from the multi-talented actor about when the track will be released. 

SICELO BUTHELEZI THE MUSICIAN 

Butelezi told Sunday World that he has always been a music lover and when the opportunity presents itself, he likes to dabble in a track or two.

“It has always been the plan to focus on my acting career first, get everything in order, and when the time is right, get into music”.

Buthelezi has actually featured on a number of amapiano singles, including Lady Du and DBN Gogo’s Dakiwe that sparked the #DakiweChallenge earlier in the year. Buthelezi also has features on Cyfred’s Snake Park and Busta 929’s Phola, featuring songstress Boohle and Mr JazziQ.

It appears that Buthelezi is trying to find his feet in the music industry and is taking a swipe at a number of genres.

He recently featured on hip-hop duo MajorSteez’ new single, Too Easy, featuring producer Mustbedubz. The single was released on 27 June and is MajorSteez’ second single of 2021.
