King Monada’s New Song ‘Idibala’ dominates the world

King Monada has dominated the globe with his new single called “Malwedhe”. The song has gotten the public’s stamp of approval as the festive season anthem, a title that has traditionally been held by Durban’s house/gqom’ scene.

JOHANNESBURG – This year, the December festive season capital is Limpopo as King Monada’s ‘Idibala’ takes over South Africa and the rest of the world.

Idibala is a catchy tune about a man warning his lover that if she leaves him, he will faint.

For those of you in the dark about what all the lyrics mean, here’s a breakdown.

Malwedhe Music video is also out now on YouTube.

The song is accompanied by a dance where people pretend that they’re fainting. But, you better be careful because the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has issued a warning asking people not to do the challenge while driving as it poses risks to road users.

The song has gotten the public’s stamp of approval as the festive season anthem, a title that has traditionally been held by Durban’s house/gqom’ scene.

Even popular Durban-based DJ Tira has conceded defeat.
