The last time we heard anything from Limpopo native Vhudi was when he dropped his hit single titled My Yoki Yoki. The musician became an instant hit when he made his appearance on Mzansi’s hit singing competition SA Idols.
It seems things are going great for him, so much so that he has just bought a new car. He posted a picture of Instagram with him driving away with the car from the Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Going back to the start of his journey. Vhudi gave the judges a stellar performance during his audition, singing his very own song My Yoki Yoki, which ultimately won the hearts of many. Somizi Mhlongo,Unathi Nkayi, Randall Abrahams and Buhle Mda could not stop singing along him.
Vhudi gave the judges and avid watchers of the show goosebumps and his appearance on the show trended on Twitter, with many hyping high praises on his performance.

Speaking to Sowetan after his song’s success, the 20-year-old explained the meaning of the track. “I was trying to impress someone when I wrote the song,” he told the publication. “I didn’t get the girl, but she was very excited about the song. Yes, My Yoki Yoki is shortened from ‘My Yonkinto’. It just came up as I was writing the song.
Vhudi finally released the song at midnight, and his fans are on cloud nine. The singer was recently eliminated from the singing competition and his fans were left disappointed, but this did not discourage him at all.
In a tweet, he wrote, “What an incredible journey I’ve had on @idolssa. Thank you to everyone who started supporting me from my first audition. I appreciate you all! Great news: I will be releasing #MyYokiYoki soon! We will announce the release date this week!”
Vhudi’s appearance on the show was a huge milestone as he got to record his song in-studio “What a beautiful day recording my upcoming single #MyYokiYoki. This was my first time in the studio. Thank you, Jesus & everyone who’s working on this with me,” he captioned his post.
The singer also got a shout-out from Nigerian superstar Davido requesting him to DM him and Black Coffee also wanted to work with him.
