When it was first announced back in April that the multi Grammy nominated R&B singer Tamia would be touring South Africa, she immediately shot up to the top of the SA Twitter trends list.
The 47-year-old is no stranger to South Africa, having toured the country on three prior occasions.
The Canadian star has released multiple albums and collaborated with several prominent international musical icons during a career that spans over nearly three decades.
On Monday platinum selling South African R&B star Lloyiso announced that he will be joining Tamia as her opening act for the short tour which takes place over the next few days.
“Touring with Tamia 😭❤️! Can’t wait to see you guys!” He shared.
