He told Arts&Culture that that the song is a fusinon of Kwaito and Amapiano genres together.
'Since Amapiano music is the most popular mainstream genre, i decided to infuse it with a Kwaito touch so that the young generation, who are my target market can relate with it. Ama VIP is a feel good/vibey song inspired by the feeling or dream of chilling with important people/classy people looking fresh and clean, having fun, drinking expensive drinks you know,' he said. In the song, there is a part saying, where he says 're chitse le di senior monna! ba swaepa fela ga bheke di price, tloba nice everything is on point. (meaning we are chilling with rich people who swipe experience drinks without worrying about the prices and everything is on point). 'It is giving the VIP vibes. This is a song about soft life and going out and so far it is doing well,' he said.
Moreover, he added that he is currently working on its music video shooting. Kwaito Mental said he started his music career in 2005 as a song writer, but later released his first single in 2010.

He pleaded with the government to support the creative industry to boost economy.
'Developed countries take creative industry seriously because they knw the important of arts in the economy. I have faced challenges in music industry such as lack of fund because music is expensive, sabotage is rampant and promoters do not book us. They would rather book international acts than local ones. Even local radio stations do not give us much air play,' he ended.
