Beef is nothing new in the music industry, but one particular feud has had us scratching our heads in confusion. Why in the world were Afro-pop singer Dr Malinga and young rapper Nasty C fighting?

In perhaps one of the strangest feuds of 2017 so far, Dr Malinga shaded Nasty C's credentials and said that he did not deserve Song of the Year award at the annual Metro FM Music Awards.

"Nasty C is like pawn shop, keeping things that do not belong to him," Malinga tweeted.

As confused but angry Nasty C's fans prepared to defend their idol, the rapper took matters into his own hands and posted a short video on his Instagram lambasting his hater.

"You are mad at me because I won something, sir? You are like 103 and you wear green shorts up to your man boobs" and pink shoes and you are pretending to kick down planes on stage. You are a f*cking gimmick. You are publicity stunt. Let it go. It is okay. Cut the sh*t," he said.

Besides performing two very different genres, the age difference between the two made the feud even more alarming.

Add the fact that both musicians have never really slung mud at anyone in public before, and you can understand why many fans were triple checking to make sure the artists were being genuine.

It all kicked off from there, with Dr Malinga going on a marathon Twitter session to shade Nasty C.

Nasty C did not respond to Dr Malinga's provocation but had earlier told TshisaLIVE that he was not scared of any musician in the country.

"I know that there is no artist in the country that can touch or intimidate me right now. I am not afraid of anyone in the industry," Nasty C added.
