KWESTA CELEBRATES 16 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY
Speaking to Drum about the celebration, he said: “It’s my 16th year in the entertainment industry and I just thought that it is quite a milestone and [it’s] also just a play around the fact that a verse in Hip-Hop is 16 bars, so my whole life in this music industry has been a verse and not a lot of people get a chance to be here for 16 years, so I saw it as an opportunity to celebrate a milestone that is not so common.”

Above all, the artist wants to be always known as a creative who put his head down and crafted his music to the best of his ability. “When I decided to do music as a career, my whole thing was to try [to] impact it and not be impacted by it. I want people to look back, whenever they do, at my career and go ‘that guy purely gave us pure music, he sounded like himself, he sounded authentic’,” stated Kwesta
Kwesta is more than just a talented rapper, he’s become a husband to Yolanda Mvelase and the father of two young beautiful girls, Khai and Kenya Vilakazi. The rapper tied the knot with his bae in a stylish white wedding in 2019 after dating for eight years. It seems the couple has been doing well as they just celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary.

The father of two said he hopes to inspire his daughters and young artists who look up to him and desire to succeed just as he has. “My outlook with my children is that I want them to holistically see me as a person who did their best, not necessarily in a specific song but in everything. So, the whole show is just also to send them the message that if you dedicate yourself and work hard, you could have yourself a 16-year career,” said the rapper.
