“Congrats @MasterKGsa! #Jerusalema is now the most Shazamed song in the world…”

In an interview Master, Kg stated that while releasing the song, he never thought it could be a big hit. Though people confuse the song with being secular, he has made it clear it is an upbeat gospel-influenced house song.

Jerusalem has been jammed by many including football megastar Christiano Ronaldo, American singer Janet Jackson and many more.

CONGRATULATIONS MASTER KG AND NOMCEBO!
