Singer Naledi Aphiwe’s dream about birthday gift from Chris Brown! Seventeen-year-old Naledi Aphiwe Myongwane, a matriculant and multi-award-winning musician from Inanda, Durban, is eyeing a dream opportunity—to open for Chris Brown during his South African tour on December 15.
“That will be the best gift I’ve ever received in my entire life,” said Aphiwe, who has just completed her final exams and is now ready to focus entirely on her flourishing music career.
A Rising Star with Global Appeal
Aphiwe, widely recognized for her viral singing videos and her collaboration with Chris Brown on his track Shooter from his 2023 album 11:11, has become a global sensation. Her powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics have won her fans worldwide.
Now, with Chris Brown set to perform at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on December 14 and 15, Aphiwe hopes to take the stage alongside the American superstar.
“On the 16th, it’s my birthday, and that’s the day I wish and pray they will call me to come and open for him. Seeing Chris Brown coming back to South Africa makes me feel like I’m important because I was able to be part of him, and it makes me very happy,” she shared.
Balancing Education and Stardom
Despite her musical achievements, Aphiwe has remained committed to her education. She recently completed her matric exams, a milestone she believes is essential, even for those pursuing careers in the arts.
“Finishing school is very important because it opens doors. There were times when I couldn’t attend performances because I had school commitments. Now that I’m done with my final exams, I can focus on what I love,” she said.
Aphiwe’s dedication to both school and music serves as an inspiration to young people balancing academics with their passions.
“Stay in school, even if good things are already happening in your life. Be patient and finish school because we need education in life. You can even multitask. I managed to focus on my music while being at school, and I’m confident I’ll pass,” she added.
The Future of Aphiwe’s Music
Now that she has wrapped up her schooling, Aphiwe is diving headfirst into her music career. She is working on an EP, set to be released in March 2025, which promises to deliver more of the soulful, heartfelt music her fans adore.
The Ngiyabonga hitmaker, known for blending emotional storytelling with captivating melodies, is excited to explore new sounds and share her growth as an artist.
“I can’t wait to create new music and connect with my fans on a deeper level. This EP will reflect everything I’ve been through and where I’m headed,” she hinted.
A Milestone Moment
Chris Brown’s return to South Africa holds special meaning for Aphiwe, not only because of their past collaboration but also as a symbol of how far she has come.
“It’s a blessing to even dream of sharing the stage with someone I’ve worked with. Chris Brown has been a role model and a mentor in many ways, even from afar. This would mean the world to me, especially so close to my birthday,” she said.
A Message of Hope
As Aphiwe looks forward to a future filled with music, she hopes her journey inspires others to chase their dreams while valuing the foundation that education provides.
Her advice to aspiring artists is simple yet profound: “Stay focused, stay patient, and never stop learning. Life is a journey, and every step matters.”
On the Brink of Stardom
With her matric exams behind her and an EP in the works, Naledi Aphiwe Myongwane is on the cusp of an extraordinary chapter in her career. Whether or not she takes the stage with Chris Brown this December, her story is already one of perseverance, talent, and unwavering determination.
