Local rising star Sho Madjozi's "John Cena" video on the Colours Studios YouTube channel has gained more than 1 million views. 

Since the debut of the gqom track last week, the "Huku" star has had a whirlwind ride with the new song getting the stamp of approval from Missy Elliot, the WWE and the man himself, John Cena. 

The song is fast becoming a club hit and Madjozi finished recording the official version on Monday and is set to release it soon.
