from TimesLIVE Podcasts · host TimesLIVE Podcasts

Rapper iFani is staging a comeback after a TikTok resurgence of his 2013 hit Shake brought renewed attention to his music and life story. The 40-year-old reflects on a difficult decade marked by financial hardship and periods of homelessness in Gqeberha, where he says he survived without stable food or shelter. The viral momentum has now opened a new chapter for the rapper, who is set to release new music under Asanda Empires, alongside a Shake (Remix) featuring Sosoboy Fosho, Gaffi, Khitha Pinca and Musa.
