‘You could tell some of those people were being sent’: Ntukza on being trolled after split from Teargas

Rapper Ntukza says he was thrown under the bus when Teargas split and someone was behind the trolling he received on socials after the messy break-up.

In a recent interview on podcast The Episode, he said someone might have been behind the trolling. 

“Imagine if I was like, you know, psychologically weak? Imagine if I was somebody who was super sensitive or somebody who couldn’t actually just take out what's real from what’s not real?

“You could actually tell that some of those people were being sent by somebody. The cancel culture thing, busy people complaining ... in 2022 — I've been in it like freaking, like long, bro,” he added.

In K.O's latest song The Light, from his album SR3 (Skhanda Republic 3), the rapper said he and Ntkuza were “beefing” for no reason and their group would still be successful had it not been for that.

“Ngoba mina noNtukza just ended up beefing for no reason. He was a brother I needed, iTeargas namanj’ would be the hottest every season. I’m moving on to better things. I’m letting bygones be bygones,” K.O said.

The rapper took to his Twitter timeline after the song dropped and in a series of tweets aired his side of the story.

Ntukza said K.O had approached him for a Teargas comeback 10 years ago but they had a fallout as a group. 

“You are not going to record a song with false information about me and I must sit back, be quiet. My name falsely on a song?”

“You come to me begging and crying about a Teargas comeback gig after all your s**t. I agree to it, look past all your crap. You go and record a song with my name after Sete catches a wave, 10 years later.”
