Big Xhosa took to Twitter on Sunday, 9 May to share his thoughts on Emtee's reaction to the diss track. Big Xhosa tried to be nice to Emtee, saying that the Hustla's music got him through "some worst times".

Emtee, who is known for not mincing his words, was not having it. According to ZAlebs, he first swore at the aspiring rapper and then told him to respect Mzansi hip-hop. Big Xhosa then said it was "just a game" which also rubbed Emtee the wrong way.
