Award-winning vocalist Lady Zamar schools the masses on English grammar after she took flak for a tweet about the success of the smash-hit “Jerusalema”.
While the world continues to dance to Master KG’s hit single “Jerusalema,” Lady Zamar took to Twitter to hail the Limpopo born-star for putting Mzansi on the map.
“Limpopo has been representing globally for a minute now,” tweeted the “Collide” hitmaker.
Limpopo has been representing globally for a minute now♥️✈️🌍

It was not long after she shared the post that tweeps came out guns blazing, attacking the songstress.
It’s clear peeps misunderstood the phrase “for a minute now.”

I don't think this is well phrased, what do you mean for a minute? pic.twitter.com/lT5kRfcPsu

From Idibala to John Cena, John Cena to Jerusalem... I think that's more than a minute
Unfazed by the negative comments, Lady Zamar hit back with English grammar lesson, she wrote: “Google to the Rescue for those who don’t get it.. Viva Limpopo.”
She continued to explain the meaning of the phrase: “One of you recently asked me about the phrase “It's been a minute.” No, we're not talking about the 60-second minute on your clock, but the idiomatic phrase, which basically means “It's been a long time,” or “It's been a while.”

This comes after international football star Cristiano Ronaldo had shown some love to the global banger “Jerusalema.”
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday Ronaldo shared with his 207 million followers, a four-minute long video celebrating special moment with family and friends, and “Jerusalema” is heard playing in the background.
He captioned the post: "Life is better with your loved ones 🙏❤️ Enjoy all the moments with love and happiness! ✨“
Master KG says this is a dream come true for him as he recently told his friends he would like to see the soccer icon dance to his song.
“I remember telling my friends weeks ago that my wish is to see@Cristiano playing Jerusalema and Today he posted it #Jerusalema,“ tweeted Master KG.
