Liema Pantsi Lands Second iTunes No. 1 in One Week with “Lose Control” Featuring Usimamane

Liema Pantsi is showing no signs of slowing down. The rising star has officially secured her second iTunes No. 1 in less than a week with her latest single, “Lose Control,” featuring Usimamane.

The achievement comes just hours after the song’s release, further cementing Liema’s status as one of the fastest-rising names in South African music right now. Earlier this week, the artist also topped the iTunes charts through her feature on “Somebody to Love” by Malawian singer Onesimus, making this her second chart-topping moment in just a matter of days.

Fresh off her win as the 2026 Big Brother Mzansi champion, Liema continues to prove that her transition into music is more than just hype — it’s a movement. Speaking about the single, Liema shared that “Lose Control” was created for the “pop girls,” delivering an infectious blend of Afropop energy, smooth melodies, and undeniable replay value. Usimamane steps in with his signature charisma and hard-hitting rap delivery, giving the track an explosive edge.

 

Fans have wasted no time embracing the collaboration, pushing the record straight to the top of the charts while flooding social media with praise for the chemistry between the two artists.

Adding to the momentum, Liema Pantsi and Usimamane were recently spotted shooting visuals for the record, with anticipation for the official music video continuing to grow online.

Signed to Africa United Records, Liema Pantsi is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most exciting new-generation voices in African music. With back-to-back chart success, a growing fanbase, and undeniable star power, she is proving that this is only the beginning.

“Lose Control” by Liema Pantsi featuring Usimamane is now available on all streaming platforms.
