Now rapper Usimamane is setting his sights on an acting career
After a successful career in music as a rapper, Usimamane is looking to venture into acting.
Real name Omuhleumnguni Simamane, he first rose to fame with his breakthrough single Cheque released in 2024, which was certified three times Platinum in South Africa. He is popularly known for his smash hit single Uvalo featuring Sjava.
Earlier this year, Usimamane shot a music video Dangerous II featuring US rapper Rick Ross in Cape Town.
The Umlazi-born rapper spoke to TshisaLIVE during the 25th Metro FM Music Awards at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga — where he scooped Best Male Artist — and revealed he has set his sights on acting.
'I'm looking forward to a lot of collaborations and also touching into fashion but I'm acting just to expand on my craft as an artist. I feel I've been well received by the industry — I'm grateful for the opportunity. What is important is love,' he said.
