His popularity was demonstrated when he sold out a one-man show at the Emperor’s Palace, which was attended by several prominent figures from the local music scene. In addition to being a well-known South African artist, the rapper has also been involved in several hip-hop rivalries with artists like Big Zulu and J Molley.
