South African singer and songwriter King Monada has once again captured the attention of fans across the globe, proving that success doesn’t have to come with a change of scenery. Let me tell you, this guy is keeping it real.
Why King Monada Prefers Life eKasi
Born and raised in Limpopo, King Monada has become a household name in South Africa. But unlike many artists who move to glitzy neighborhoods after hitting it big, Monada decided to stay put. Recently, the internet was buzzing when a photo of him sleeping outside to guard his brand-new R1 million Ford Raptor went viral. Now, the story behind his decision to remain in the township is making waves.
In a candid interview with Daily Sun, the singer revealed why he chooses to live in a township despite his growing fame. Monada emphasized that staying humble and grounded is key to his success. "It’s not just about where you live; it’s about who you are and how you carry yourself," he explained. His decision to stay close to home is more than just a lifestyle choice—it’s a reflection of his values and commitment to his roots.

Monada went on to say:
"Dedication and commitment conquer everything. I always believe in the Almighty to protect and guide me. I also have a guardian who has been with me from the beginning, Makwela Albert, who continues to support me. He’s been like the parent everyone wishes for, and I always follow his advice."
For Monada, living in the township isn’t just about staying close to home—it’s also about staying inspired. His surroundings play a crucial role in shaping his music. He shared:
"My songwriting is inspired by my everyday experiences and the things I observe around me. Because of this, I’ll always have fresh ideas and lyrics to draw from. My accomplishments come from hard work, with prayer guiding the way, while material success follows. I make it a point to support those in need whenever I can. Living in a rural area itself serves as a constant source of motivation."
