Nasty C has revealed that he’s a father after he and high school sweetheart Sammie Heaves, real name Ntombizodwa Beatrice Sibanyoni, welcomed their baby boy, Oliver. “He arrived a few weeks ago. He is a strong little boy,” the Fallin rapper gushes. Although he won’t reveal everything, Nasty C says he and Sammie gave baby Oliver three names. “He has a Zulu name, English and a Japanese name.” Nasty C revealed the pregnancy in a freestyle, Dear Oliver, and says he definitely shares his journey on fatherhood in the upcoming track titled, Oliver.
One Hell of a Ride
He says fatherhood has been one hell of a ride. “I am loving every minute of it. I even gained some daddy fat,” he jokes. Although he has a busy schedule, he is a full-time dad and lives with Oliver in Johannesburg. “He has to live with me. I love being a dad.” Nasty C says when he found out about the pregnancy, he was both nervous and excited. “There was a lot of excitement that happened when we found out. I was also extremely nervous but I am fortunate that my girlfriend and I have a very healthy relationship. Being a dad is not as hard as I thought it would be.” Nasty C says that with the busy and complicated music industry, having a family is grounding. “The music industry can get very hectic and having a kid grounds me. I get to go home to so much joy,” he says.
No Beef
Nasty C has been recorded to have only had one music industry beef with Ghanaian artist, Sarkordie. In the freestyle rap titled No Big Deal, he claimed that Sarkodie had snubbed him and refused him a handshake while he was still a rising star.
African Throne World Tour
He is gearing up for the African Throne World Tour with Cassper Nyovest from 24 September with the first date kicking off at Operation Station in Woodstock, Durban. Nasty C, real name David Junior Ngcobo, plans to go big and also perform the songs he and Cassper have done together, such as Loco, Juice Back, and Jump. Nasty C can’t help but be biased and looks forward to performing in his city, Durban. “I won’t lie, my city always shows me the most love. But I guarantee, every show will be amazing,” he says.
Nasty C says he and Cassper have mutual respect. “There’s never been much tension between Cassper and I. We are not really day-to-day friends that call or speak to each other every day but we work together and we are cool,” he concludes.
