Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
'Naledi' impressed the American singer with her rendition of Big Zulu's 'Ubaba Ulala Nami'.
A South African learner is making headlines after R&B superstar Chris Brown shared a clip of her singing on his Instagram page.
The 'No Guidance' hitmaker, who has 122-million followers, posted the video on his Instagram Stories.
"Her voice [is] incredible,' the 33-year-old captioned the clip.
Social media users called the girl 'Naledi', but it is unclear if that is her real name or they just gave her the nickname because it means "star".
She sings Big Zulu's song, 'Ubaba Ulala Nami', in the video. The track, which features on his 'Ichwane Lenyoka' album, is about a father who sexually abuses his daughter.

MORE ON EAST COAST RADIO:
Despite Naledi's amazing voice, some could not help but notice how overcrowded her class is. The video shows two or three learners sitting at one desk.
"Not taking anything away from her, she can definitely sing, that's beautiful. But I'm very pissed at our government that even le ka 2022 we still have to share tables like that, can't they improve our facilities mara.? Ahh mara bafwethu & it's clear gore the class is overcrowded," one tweep commented.
"Yazi the crowded classroom, 3 pupils per desk, dilapidated furniture and the surroundings took my attention away from the subject!" another tweep added.
