Watch Nasty C explain reason for not reacting to 'A-POP'

South African rapper Nasty C has shut down any suggestion of bad blood between himself and Tyla, recording a candid selfie-style video explaining why he is sitting out the wave of reactions to her newly released A-POP album. The video was filmed during his Twitch stream, where fans had been pushing him to react publicly to the album.

Background

Nasty C's tone in the video was relaxed yet firm, making his message impossible to miss. He expressed concern that doing a reaction video could easily be read the wrong way, whether as trolling, hating, or riding Tyla's wave for attention. "A lot of that stuff can get lost in translation," he said in the clip, adding that he does not want her to ever feel like he is trying to get clout off her name.

Nasty C was clear that he had no intention of skipping the music itself. "I am going to listen to it, though, for sure," he said. "We are big Tyla supporters in this house." The rapper's decision to sit out the public reaction has sparked mixed responses from fans, with some questioning how he is spending his time lately.

What This Means

The growing "Nasty C and Tyla" narrative online is exactly the kind of thing he wants no part of. Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on Nasty C's decision, with some questioning how he is using his time. @SibaMadikizela wrote: "What's going on with him? Is he doing this full time?!" @kekemashile was more pointed, saying: "I feel like the time he spends doing these things, he should use for studio, people will say he has studio time, well, it isn't enough because he has time for this."

What Happens Next

In a previous report, Nasty C's livestream moment with baby mama Sammie Heavens sparked a heated debate after she appeared convinced he had called her a B. Tension between the couple played out in real time on stream, with Sammie warning she would replay the footage to catch what he said. The incident has left fans divided, with some certain Nasty C crossed a line and others insisting the sound was misheard.
