Shots Fired at Nasty C

In a recent Twitter outburst, South African rapper Nasty C expressed his discontent with the popularity of Amapiano music among American audiences. He tweeted, “Can these Amapiano skank artists stop forcing Amapiano to my American siblings? We Americans don’t like these Amapiano sheet, it’s whack and we hate it.” This bold statement has caught the attention of many fans and artists within the industry.

Uncle Waffles, a prominent figure in the Amapiano scene, did not take kindly to Nasty C’s remarks. In response, he tweeted back that the real problem lies in what Americans actually want to hear, dismissing Nasty C’s music and recommending that he focuses on improving his craft. Uncle Waffles claimed, “The only thing Americans don’t wanna hear is your ratata… Focus on making better music because your rival A-REECE recently dropped bangers and he’s killing it while you’ve been trying to be a successful American rapper.”

This exchange between two high-profile South African artists showcases the growing tension in music genres, especially as international audiences influence local sounds. The debate over Amapiano’s reception in the United States opens up discussions about cultural exchange and the challenges artists face in breaking into foreign markets. As Amapiano gains traction beyond South Africa’s borders, both artists are navigating their careers and identities within this evolving landscape.

Fans of both artists have expressed their opinions online, with many taking sides in the dispute. The clash serves as a reminder of the challenges artists face in balancing local pride with international aspirations, and how social media can amplify such conflicts in real-time.
