Nasty C addresses 'beef' with Sarkodie
Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, known professionally as Nasty C, commented on the 'beef' he had with Sarkodie in 2022. He explained that both artists likely haven’t resolved the issue due to their busy schedules.
"I don’t know, we would have to have a conversation. I think a lot of things got lost in translation and, you know, I don’t know. No one’s organised that sit-down just yet, and we are both just busy with our lives," he said.
"I said that in the song that I put out, but I guess I don’t know if he misunderstood it or if someone was in his ear and told him the wrong message, but his response to the song that I put out was a little spicy."
"So I don’t know where his head is at the moment. I’m not really worried about it, but if he were to ask us to sit down and have a chat, yeah, for sure," he added.

Nasty C discusses ducking Sarkodie on projects
In the viral video, Nasty C explained why he has never worked with Sarkodie on any musical projects. He said he would love to make amends with the award-winning rapper.
Nasty C also referenced a viral track where he recounted his first impression of Sarkodie.
"When I first met Sarkodie, he wouldn’t shake my hand, cool. I’m not too proud to say but I’m still a fan."
"He later disclosed in the verse that he declined two offers to work with Sarkodie, making poor excuses to avoid collaboration."
"Two requests over the years and I declined them both. I just made up some dumb excuse like; I’m in album mode. But looking back on that today, I was in coward mode."

Sarkodie responds to Nasty C’s claims
Sarkodie responded to Nasty C’s claims in a December 2022 track titled “Landlord,” stating that he never reached out to him for collaboration and had no issues with him.
"I ain’t gotta (have to) shake your hand so you can walk out. And so you know it’s not me, you're fighting your own ego, maybe a couple of things you gotta sort out. I never reached out homie, but I know what you're doing, such a smart body touching the God is part of the plan,” Sarkodie rapped on the track."
