Wale lauds Nasty C's lyrical prowess, sparking hopes for a collaboration.

After getting a big reference from American rapper Wale, South African rap sensation Nasty C is currently taking over online discussions. The fan base is ecstatic about this high-profile acknowledgement, which has sparked passionate wishes for an international cooperation and conversations regarding Nasty C's reputation as a top-tier poet. In an impressive yet succinct social media post, Wale praised Nasty C's lyrical ability, saying, "Nasty C and Ladipoe…

" – mentioning Nigerian rapper Ladipoe as well. Fans praised Wale for highlighting African talent after this brief yet powerful endorsement went viral right away. Supporters flooded timelines with messages of pride and unity on South African social media networks, demonstrating the fervour.

As soon as the comments started to filter in, one user said, "Undeniably the best emcees outta Africa when it comes to pen game and delivery." Wale's unwavering support for African music was recognised by another fan, who wrote, "Wale has been one of the people pushing Afrobeats since 2013/14… and he has always repped Naija."  Wale's ovation was a source of validation for Nasty C's devoted fan following, popularly referred to as "The Slimes," particularly considering the rapper's occasional domestic criticism. As one user noted, "The Slimes never like to see Nasty winning," underscoring the nuanced reception he occasionally manages in spite of his steady successes.

Fans are more hopeful than ever that Nasty C's next significant international partnership may be imminent, as Wale has now openly expressed appreciation for his lyrical prowess.
