WATCH | Nasty C fires shots at local rappers with freestyle on US radio show

While he's made it clear he's no longer rapping to prove a point, Nasty C won't let his peers think they are his competition and he made that clear in his recent freestyle verse on US radio show Hoodrich Radio.

Nasty C visited Got Bars with DJ Scream on the US radio show to lay down an exclusive freestyle where he spared no punchlines for rappers who think they are his competition.

In his verse, the rapper said: “If you want a pat on the back, just say that, don't speak about me in your track. Ask for a picture, I'll give you that and tell you I f*** with your terrible raps...”

In another line, the rapper said, “You need to mention my name to go viral.”

And while there was no name dropping in his verse, his fans immediately knew the direction Nasty C's bars were aimed at.

They assumed he was looking to let the likes of Pretty Ugly — who recently named him in a diss track — and newbie Big Xhosa know “was up!".

Pretty Ugly released a freestyle on his birthday last month that left tongues wagging when he shot a few “backhanded lines” at his peers and fellow rappers.

“See, I'm nasty, no cap. Let's all rap. You can't have bad hair if you been making tall racks,” one of Pretty Ugly's lines went, which fans knew was meant for Nasty C.

The relatively new kid on the block, Big Xhosa, recently released a viral diss track, in which he said Nasty C uses too many English words in his raps, likened Cassper Nyovest's beard to a goat's and mentioned that he believed he is five times better than late US star 2 Pac, among many other punchlines.
