Like Lucasraps, Emtee's heart belongs to Hip Hop and he does not believe that the genre is dead in South Africa. He took to social media to let people know that Hip Hop is alive and well in Mzansi.

Time will tell how long Amapiano dominates the music scene in South Africa.

3. Nasty C

Nasty C is another rapper who has not been tempted to switch to Amapiano. He has refused to collaborate with any artists who want to duet an Amapiano song with him.

He asked people not to approach him with an Amapiano project and if he did do Amapiano he would be "faking it".
