MOONCHILD SANELLEY'S FEATURE ON FIFA 22 In 2021, Moonchild Sanelly was the only South African artist featured on FIFA 22. Speaking to Drum, she said the feature had been in the works for some time.

I keep pinching myself. I recently had a conversation with someone about how we do not always celebrate our victories because we want to be seen as humble, but I am teaching myself to celebrate myself because I work really hard, she said.
