Master KG addresses his ‘style’

Jerusalema hitmaker, Master KG won the Most Stylish SA Icon award at this year’s South African Style Awards.

After receiving the award, the star took to social media to share his victory but many social media users questioned why he won the award, saying they did not associate him with style or fashion.

@Refilwe_BOPAPE said “Mara ka style hai aretsi congratulations,” translating to English this reads ‘In terms of style we don’t know, but anyway congratulations’

Primarily, Master KG – real name Kgaogelo Moagi – was known for being a musician and was not considered a stylista by South Africans.

However, he said winning the award was an “achievement in the music industry, for making my mark and embracing people globally”.

The star then ended the caption by saying he hoped people understood that he did not win the award because of the way he dressed.

Myself Winning an SA Style Award is an accolade for achievement in the music industry , for making my mark and embracing people globally .its not about how I Dress Hope People Understand.
