Roiii Pays Heartfelt Tribute To K.O After Iconic One-Man Show At Constitutional Hill. This past Saturday, Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg was the stage for a historic night as K.O delivered a one-man show that left fans and peers alike in awe. Among those moved by the performance was none other than Roiii, who took to social media to honour the man he affectionately calls “Pops.”
In a heartfelt post, Roiii praised K.O’s unwavering support and mentorship throughout his career, recalling how K.O was the first to take a chance on a young Jit from Pitori. Roiii credited K.O for investing his time, effort, and resources to help shape him into the artist he is today, describing the transformation as turning a “little VV into a VVS.” Beyond his personal impact, Roiii highlighted K.O’s influence on Skhanda World, Cashtime, Teargas, and the broader South African music landscape.
Watching K.O on stage, Roiii admitted to experiencing goosebumps, seeing a version of his mentor he hadn’t witnessed in years. “The stone-cold chin checker I saw at my first freshers—telling myself I’m gonna be just like bro—had me and my brother conducting in the front of the crowd like we were part of the Republic choir,” Roiii shared.
Though Roiii said he could write a whole book about K.O, he concluded his tribute simply, expressing love and respect for the legendary artist who continues to leave an indelible mark on South African music.
K.O’s solo show at Constitutional Hill was a testament not only to his enduring talent but also to the profound impact he has had on the artists around him and the culture at large.
