Hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper was announced as the international artist that would be performing at this year’s Castle Lite Unlocks concert in April.
The announcement, made on Tuesday night, left hip-hop fans feeling underwhelmed.
After a long day of guessing and hinting between tweeps and Castle Lite, tweeps were convinced either Drake or Kendrick Lamar would be “unlocked”.
Who would you prefer to be the next unlocked from the two

Is @castlelitesa unlocking you or njani? #CastleLiteUnlocks
Then Chance was revealed as the star act, but tweeps were having none of it.
Tweeps reached out to another beer brand and record label to help them bring Drake to Mzansi.
Dear @Mabala_Noise,#CastleLiteUnlocks has failed us, can you please make things right and bring DRAKE, MDRAKWANA, MDRADRADRA to SA.
