SINGER IFani has fallen on hard times and has asked Afro-soul star Amanda Black to help him out.
The Iingoma Ezimnandi star told his fans that he needed a feature with Amanda.
He allegedly gave Amanda a song three years ago but received no response from her. Now he is asking his supporters to plead his case with Amanda.
His letter, which he posted on Twitter, reads: "Dear iFani fans, I NEED YOUR HELP. Please ask Amanda Black to please give me a feature I sent her the song 3 years ago. I still want that song with her. I’m begging you, please help me. I've been asking her for so long but it’s just not happening."

His post received mixed reactions from his supporters.
Qhinebe was not moved by IFani and wrote: "I've never thought I would see the day you begging Amanda for a feature thee Ifani. How the mighty have fallen."
To which Ifani responded: "Yah, I've fallen, and I need her hand to help me get up but it's difficult."
Zhane commented: "I was a fan of your music, sir, but then you opened your mouth. Gave opinions etc. Not on social issues like gang violence, rape culture, gender-based violence and load shedding. You became a music critic. You should have kept away from Twitter and focused on music."

But Dumie sympathised with him and said: "Am I the only one who is heartbroken by your post? I'm so sorry my dawg. Trust your God-given talent, you are enough. You are it. Rather let Amanda come knocking at your door. Wish you all the best."
The Ewe hitmaker spoke to Daily Sun, saying: “I contacted Amanda three years ago and at that time I managed to get hold of her. I told her that I wish to make a song with her and she agreed. She gave me her email to use and I sent the song to that email. But since that day, I never heard from her.
“I am hurt because she does not take my calls, she does not respond to any communication of mine, and I don’t know what else to do to get her attention. I am now pleading with my fans to talk to her maybe she will listen to them.”
Daily Sun tried to contact Amanda, but she did not answer her phone. She also did not respond to text messages.
