Kelvin Momo joins Drake and Kendrick Lamar to make history on Spotify
Kelvin Momo has officially cemented his place among global music heavyweights after achieving a record-breaking milestone with his latest album Thato Ya Modimo.
Just two days after its release, the project racked up over one million streams on Spotify, placing him alongside international icons like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, and fans are calling it nothing short of legendary.
Released on 30 May 2025, Thato Ya Modimo has taken both local and international airwaves by storm. The 29-track Amapiano masterpiece dropped shortly before Momo’s historic Red Bull Symphonic show and has since become the talk of the town.
According to @2022AFRICA on X, Kelvin Momo now joins a very exclusive club: “Kelvin Momo now joins Drake and Kendrick Lamar as the only artists in SA Spotify history to have an album receive over one million streams on its second day.”
Mzansi music lovers are praising Momo’s artistry, with many pointing out standout collaborations, particularly Sir Trill’s performance on tracks Modimo and Imvula, which have quickly become fan favorites.
As the accolades pour in, Kelvin Momo continues to prove why he’s considered one of the most innovative and consistent producers on the Amapiano scene.
