“Get a clean shave first before you hate on Nasty C, he's literally in the debate of "the best rapper in Africa". Other than being a hater, what have you achieved?”

@LinKim1047436 advised:

“Sir sometimes we should just enjoy music without reading too much into things, characters are created to make sure the story has quality and make sense when it reaches the ears of the fan/culture pusher.”

@KhanyisaWolf said:
