Focalistic shows off his R2 Million car

One of Amapiano’s breakout artists is the Pretoria-born star Focalistic. The ‘Ke Star’ rapper has been booked and busy for the past two years thanks to his success on a global scale.

He showed off one of his vehicles over the weekend, a Mercedes Benz C63 said to be worth R2 million.

His fans took to the star’s comment section to let him know that they love his new ride:

“Living legend.”

“PRESIDENT YA STRAATA!!!!”

“I love your car.”

“This is all that matters, SUCCESS.”

The self-proclaimed ‘President ya strata” is a political science graduate from the University of Pretoria who once dreamed of playing soccer, hence the nickname, Maradonna. He gave up his ambition to become a soccer superstar in favor of concentrating completely on music.

Focalistic has collaborated with numerous national and international artists, such as Cassper Nyovest, DJ Maphorisa, Emtee, Nigeria’s superstar Davido, and Tanzania’s Diamond Platnumz, to create top charting songs.

Zalebs reported that Focalistic had been touring around the world with Nigerian superstar Davido.

The publication reports that the amapiano hitmaker comes from a prominent family as his father was a top SABC journalist. In 2011, while en route to see his mother (Focalistic’s grandmother), his father, the late Kgomotso Sebetso, was killed in a horrific vehicle accident in Garankuwa, Pretoria.

After receiving a gold plaque for his popular song Ke Star,  he handed it over to his mom to frame as means to make up for losing his university degree which he claimed his mother wanted to frame.
