Blxckie has become the latest star to receive an original painting from none other than Rasta the Artist.

The problematic painter, who rose to fame with his, er, distinctive portraits, has drawn several South African public figures, including the late Solly Moholo as well as the minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie.

He presented Somnyama with his depiction of his Sprite promotional picture and highlighted his signature green hairstyle and sunglasses.
