iFani joins the IheartJoburg line up!

The hip hop artist was yesterday voted as the second local act to perform at the festival, alongside the likes of Jessie J, B.O.B and Jason Derulo.

Beating out competition from local hip hop heavyweights L-Tido and Cassper Nyovest, iFani says he is excited to be performing at the festival.

"Yussus, bro, I couldn't believe it when they told me I had won the voting," Ifani told The Juice. "I wasn't sure that I would actually win, I mean I was up against some stiff competition, but I'm glad that at the end of the day my music is appreciated enough for me to be voted to play at such an awesome festival," he added.

iFani told us he's even more excited to be sharing the stage with such big internationals. "Playing on the same stage as Jessie J, T-Pain and B.O.B is a dream come true. I would have bought a ticket to the show anyway, now I get one for free" he laughed.

Today fans will get the chance to vote for a third local artist from a list of Michael Lowman, Chiano Sky and Graeme Watkins.
