Mzansi thinks he spat bars in his verse on Bayabuya, and it's for that reason that hip-hop heads think Young Stunna should switch it up again.

The Amapiano singer joined forces with hip-hop artist Pervader to cook up Bayabuya, a single released in 2023.

In it, he displays his lyrical dexterity, even articulating that he's not a rookie:

"Ishu. They tryna ask me how I do it like I'm new to this?; I told 'em I done sacrificed a lot, I'm true to this; And every time I take a step, I'm hoping I don't trip; Know they'd love to see me down so Imma stay on peak, never weak; On the Mic's the only time I get sick; Never free but I've got time to knock n*ggas off their feet; And I believe all the sangomas see the future is me; Became allergic to the dirt, I'm keeping everything clean; Wassup Vader? GPS says we're going way up, staying up; God gave us wings and some saviours, saviour; Never giving up not a failure, the pressure never getting to me I'm heavier x2."

He captioned it:

"Young Stunna should do more hip-hop joints."

Almost 12 hours later, the post had garnered 130,000 views, almost 2800 likes, and 600 reposts and bookmarks, respectively.

Mixed responses to delivery

Many under the mentions agreed with the Young Stunna assessment, with only some pointing out the artist's pedigree as a previous rapper — a fact he alludes to in the first line of his verse — shaking their heads in disagreement.
