Rapper Nasty C says he loves his new dad bod.

Taking to his Instagram timeline recently he shared a clip of himself in front of the mirror embracing his new look.

“I love myself and I'm happy. I look great, I'm a strong black man, a strong father. This doesn't make me insecure at all. In fact it makes me very confident,” he said.

Previously speaking to TshisaLIVE about being a father to his son Oliver with longtime partner Sammie, he said fatherhood made him take his career more seriously.

“I've always taken it seriously but I've always put fun in the forefront. I've always been the type of guy to say once this thing stops being fun I'm going to stop doing it. Now it's not like that any more. I'm trying to make music that will last forever. I want to leave something behind that he's going to be very proud of.”

Speaking of the changes he's made since the birth of his son, Nasty C said he was cognisant of healing from his past traumas and taking better care of himself so his son has a good role model to look up to.

“I've been taking far better care of myself. Mentally, emotionally, physically. There's a lot of undoing just from the way I was raised, so that when he looks at me and absorbs the things I say and do, he takes all the right stuff.
