Cape Town — Social media and music star Khanyisa Jaceni has seen her social media stardom elevate her to new heights as the star recently received praise from singer Alicia Keys.
Khanyisa took to her Instagram timeline and uploaded a clip of Alicia Keys reacted alongside a cover video she did of one of Alicia’s songs. The video was originally shared to Alicia’s TikTok page.
“A year Later 🥹 This is honestly the Best Birthday gift sana! Also it’s a testament of “ Putting yourself out THERE! you will never know who is watching. Watching this video is so surreal! Enkosi @aliciakeys ❤️😮💨” Khanyisa wrote.

It is not the firs time that Khanyisa has received praise from a well-known American artist. In May this year, rapper Wiz Khalifa was seen, in a video, vibing to one of Khanyisa’s hit amapiano songs, Zula Zula.
“Wiz-Khanyisa! #bottomline,” she wrote, captioning the video.
According to The Citizen, Khanyisa’s journey to stardom began during the Covid-19 pandemic when she posted videos on social media. She opened up on the pressures of dealing with fame, just like any other job.
“No money comes free. There are those days when you are demotivated and have to push yourself to work. It looks all fun, but it’s very costly to my mental health, and that’s why I prioritise my mental health before anything else.”
“I stay away from negative things that are said about me. I scroll fast and avoid things I think could trigger or affect me somehow and keep my head up high,” she said.
