Who would have thought that one day, Doja Cat would share the stage with a budding acapella group named The Joy, at Coachella of all places? What a time to be South African!

Taking to their social media pages, the all-male band shared videos from their performance with Doja, or should we say Zandile Dlamini?

The goosebump-inducing performance was led by a mashup of Doja’s Shutcho and an unknown song from the group’s catalogue. Despite the backing vocals from her provocative track, the performance was extraordinary!

The Joy thanked their team and Doja for making the night a possibility ahead of their debut album scheduled for release on 21 June 2024:

“It’s been so hard to keep this a secret. Thank you, Amala, or rather Zandile. Thank you to the incredible team that made this moment happen.”

Uncle Waffles’ performance fails to impress

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to one of Uncle Waffles’ performances.

It seems Mzansi has gotten over the Waffles’ hype and has resorted to bashing her shows and sets, claiming that she has fallen off.
