Master KG challenges Jackson to do ‘Jerusalema’ challenge
FANS are ready to give Janet Jackson a new South African name and a green ID book after the United States megastar again showed her love for Master KG and Nomcebo’s hit single Jerusalema last weekend.
e star first posted about the song last week, sharing a video on Twitter of a young child dancing wildly to the track.
She returned to the platform last Sunday to post a video of a group of young people performing a choreographed dance to the song. She captioned it: “Happy Sunday you guys” and also tagged Master KG.
It caught the attention of Chance e Rapper, who said he was keen to learn the dance that went with the song. e South African muso was blown away at the first shout-out and again thanked Janet for the love.
In fact, he thought it was time Janet and Chance tried the Jerusalema challenge themselves, and posted a video of themselves getting down to the song. Jerusalema continues to dominate around the world, spawning dance challenges and recently reached number two on the Shazam Global Charts.
Last month the song reached more than 100 million streams on YouTube. It was also featured in an Instagram post by global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo last week, who is the most-followed person on the platform with 237 million followers.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE in July, Master KG said he was blown away at how the song gets more and more popular with every passing day.
“It’s so beautiful to see how Jerusalema has taken over the world, to see how far it has gone. e song did amazing at home, in December 2019 charting on every radio station. It ruled the streets and people created memories to the song.”
Jerusalema continues to impress globally and has been recognised by Shazam as the most searched song in the world on the app.
Shazam is an Apple-owned app that helps users identify songs playing around them. Being number one on the app is a big deal because it means the whole world has been and continues to want to know the artiste behind the song Jerusalema. Master KG took to Twitter to express his joy at the news, which was shared by the official Shazam Twitter account with multiple emojis of champopo bottles to show that he is celebrating the milestone. — TshisaLIVE.
