In a bold and unapologetic declaration, South African hip-hop sensation Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, popularly known as Nasty C, has emphatically proclaimed himself as the best rapper in Africa.
The ‘Zulu Man With Some Power’ artist confidently asserted this claim during a recent interview with Glitch Africa, leaving fans and the music community abuzz with discussions about his self-assured stance.
Nasty C’s declaration came as he differentiated between being the “biggest” rapper and the “best” rapper on the African continent. In his own words, he stated, “I am not the biggest rapper in Africa. Am I the best rapper in Africa? I think so.”
This assertion, backed by his belief in his lyrical prowess and artistic capabilities, adds a layer of confidence to his already formidable reputation.
During the course of the interview, Nasty C didn’t shy away from acknowledging the rich talent within the Nigerian hip-hop scene.
He curated a personal list of his top 5 Nigerian rappers, showcasing his appreciation for the diverse skill set present in the West African nation.
The notable names on his list include M.I, Olamide, Phyno, Odumodublvck, and Blaqbonez.
However, Nasty C was quick to clarify that this lineup was purely a matter of personal preference, recognizing the subjective nature of such rankings.
The South African artist’s acknowledgment of Nigerian talent reinforces the collaborative and interconnected nature of the African music industry.
Artists from different countries influence and appreciate each other’s work, fostering a sense of unity within the diverse landscape of African hip-hop.
Nasty C’s bold statement not only sparks debates among fans and critics but also contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the dynamic and evolving nature of African hip-hop.
As he continues to make waves in the music industry, Nasty C’s confidence in his abilities serves as a testament to the competitive and ever-evolving realm of African rap.
