In July last year‚ the star criticised local hip-hop artists‚ claiming that they were not talented but just confident.
“In South Africa‚ a lot of the time confidence gets called talent...and this happens in the mainstream kakhulu . If you need to be borrowing another rapper’s lines...then maybe you’re not a rapper love. Imitation is not art‚” she tweeted.
