The video of the star replying to his stans was shared on Twitter by entertainment blogger Musa Khawula. The There They Go hitmaker said he would be "faking it" if he jumped on the Amapiano bandwagon. According to ZAlebs, he added:

The star's fans shared mixed reactions to Nasty C's comment on Amapiano. Check out some of their reactions below:

@Tumi_2Gunz said:

"Amapiano sounds the same, an impeccable lyricist like Nasty C would be downgrading his craft. Those artists make a whole album with just 1 bar, come on now really."

@Ms_CathyPerry wrote:

"I'm not a fan of Hip hop but whoever asked him to do an Amapiano song disrespects his craft. Leave Amapiano for Amapianos and let HipHop people do their HipHop in peace."

@misscookiiee commented:

"I don't think anyone was going to ask... But kudos to him."

@Mlotshwa_ZN said:

"Neah his fans were asking him if he would jump on amapiano genre so his response got nothing to do with other hip hop artists doing Amapiano."
