SA Hip Hop Fans React To A-Reece and Flvme’s Reunion

South African hip hop fans were left in awe this past weekend after rappers A-Reece and Flvme were spotted together for the first time in years. The moment took place recently backstage at the Loyal to the Plug anniversary event in Pretoria. Photos and videos shared on social media captured the pair shaking hands and embracing, a gesture that instantly went viral across platforms.

The reunion marked a significant moment for both artists and their fans, who have followed their journey since their early days under Ambitiouz Entertainment. A-Reece and Flvme first connected during their time at the label, where their chemistry quickly became evident through collaborations and shared performances. Their creative bond later carried into the formation of The Wrecking Crew, an independent collective that came to represent freedom and collaboration in South African hip hop.

Together, they collaborated on fan-favourite records such as “Feel Good Session (JR),” “Just Another Song,” and “Meanwhile in Honeydew.” Their musical chemistry and shared artistic vision made them one of the most admired duos in the local scene. However, their partnership came to an end in 2019, following what was described as a fallout within the group. Both artists continued with solo careers, each earning critical acclaim and building strong individual fanbases.

Over the years, fans continued to hope for a reconciliation. Many viewed the pair as a defining collaboration in modern South African hip hop. Their recent interaction, a simple handshake and embrace, was enough to reignite that hope and sense of nostalgia.

Following the reunion, social media erupted with excitement. On X (formerly Twitter), fans shared heartfelt and thoughtful reactions to the moment. One user wrote on the reconciliation, “The music would be a bonus. I hope they’re genuinely cool and have come to a mutual understanding.”

Another added, “I prayed for days like these, I hope they cook something up.”

One fan referenced Flvme’s own post that read, “Not all wishes come true,” replying simply, “Some do.”

Another fan shared, “They’ve matured so much musically. A collab would be quite interesting.”

In a nostalgic nod, a user quoted a verse from their song “Just Another Song,” writing, “If we fight, we reconcile 😭😭😭 that’s just how family is.”

On Instagram, the celebration continued as more fans joined the conversation. Comments like “Hip Hop is back” and “Ain’t no way my goats reunited” filled timelines. Another post read, “This shii could make a grown man cry,” while one fan summed up the sentiment with, “Long overdue. The best thing on my timeline today.”

Fellow artists within the hip hop community also expressed their emotions, emphasizing how deeply the reunion resonated within the industry. The Big Hash wrote, “My heart is so full,” reflecting the shared appreciation for seeing two key figures of the new wave back in the same space. Zingah, another respected voice in the scene, responded with, “They should,” hinting at anticipation for a possible musical collaboration. Rising star Priddy Prince added simply, “Big1,” capturing the magnitude of the moment. Their reactions highlighted the lasting impact A-Reece and Flvme have had on peers and younger artists alike, many of whom cite their early collaborations as influential to their own creative journeys.

Whether this moment leads to new music or simply represents closure, it is certain that for fans and peers alike, seeing the two artists together again has reminded many why their partnership remains one of the most celebrated in South African hip hop history.
