Nasty C Breaks His Silence About Fighting Fan On Stage

Nasty C has broken his silence about fighting a fan in Zambia as seen on a viral clip that surfaced on the internet this past Sunday.

Asked by Nandi Madida on her Apple Music show Africa Now if his reaction was a result of paranoia.

“Yeah, I think it’s just that constant paranoia, man, of not knowing who you can trust. Plus you gotta think too, all the energy is all the way through the roof, tension, there’s nerves behind me getting on stage, there’s just all these things that are going on at the same time you know. And I get out there, I can barely see anything, I’m wearing shades, I’m being blinded by all these lights and I just see someone run up on me, you know my natural instinct is to fight back. And it is just very unfortunate, I wish it hadn’t happened that way but at the time I wasn’t really thinking, it was just natural instincts man.”

On Saturday, the 9th of September, a crazed fan invaded the stage during Nasty C’s performance for his song, ‘RIP’ which is a tribute to some of our fallen Hip-Hop stars including AKA, Costa Titch, HHP and others. Nasty C quickly went into defence mode and attacked the fan by punching and kicking him. This was during the Zambian stop of Nasty C and Cassper Nyovest's African Throne tour. 

Furthermore, the interview with Nasty C comprised topics such as his latest track, ‘Endless’ his upcoming album, ‘I Love It Here,’ creating relatable lyrics and becoming a father.

Nasty C on becoming a father:

"I’m learning a lot, I’m learning a lot man. As far as sleep goes, I never get any sleep, I’m okay with that, I never got any sleep before him. But yeah man I’m learning so much and it's crazy because all the things that he’s teaching me, right now, my son, these are things that I should have always had and these are things that I really need just as a person, not even as a parent. Teaching me love and patience and all these things. So, yeah I’m learning a lot.”

Nasty C on being relatable through his music: 

“You know, now that I actually think about it, I feel like it was more about what I was rapping about versus how I was rapping. Because I obviously sounded very different to everyone else, a lot of people were like “This guy has an American accent, he’s a wannabe blah blah blah” But I think my content, my lyrical content is what really pierced through all the hate and all the resistance. Because I think from 16 or maybe even 15 I started really making music that was like really personal about real life events, it was very easy to understand. I think that’s one of the biggest factors, you know? Just speaking about something, well things, that people are related to on a regular basis.”
