Kid Tini says he always felt that his music should have a message, and this is one bold message he is trying to convey.
I feel like we often just sweep things like this under the carpet and that is wrong when you look at all the things teenagers need to go through. If we treat it with such secrecy then it will never stop being taboo. It's important to talk about it.
I have always felt like my music needs to have a message. This was about what I have gone through at a point in my life, which is teenage pregnancy.
The rapper said he and the girl he got pregnant were able to cope with the pregnancy by communicating with each other, and he involved their families, who he says was supportive.

These topics are hard to speak about but I am trying to break the boundaries and take away the stigmas attached to them.
We salute your efforts, young man. South Africans need to talk about the real issues that society faces.
