Mthandazo Gatya speaks of how he found out he was performing with the multiple Grammy Award winner John Legend.

The South African musician Mthandazo Gatya took to twitter in a thread, revealing that he was told to be in Pretoria at 10:00, at midnight the night before, for a “client briefing,” he wrote.

“We are asked if we know what we here for, I’m like ‘no [we] don’t,’ they say, ‘John Legend is in South Africa and wants to meet you & perform with you,” he added

Mthandazo also shared more about the suit he wore during their meeting and performance, revealing that a designer declined to help because of the short notice.

“I then had to go the nearest mall to get a suit… long story short, we had an amazing night and everything seemed planned,” he wrote in the thread.
