Nasty C bags an international nod in the African Entertainment Awards USA

This is most def Nasty C's year as he keeps getting win after win. 

The rapper has been nominated for the African Entertainment Awards USA in the Best Hip Hop/Rap Artist category. 

Flying the South African flag high on the platform are K.O, who is nominated in the same category, Makhadzi, who received the nod in the Best Female category, and Mafikizolo, who are nominated in the Best Duo/Group category. 

Nasty C recently released his album I Love It Here and is touring with fellow rapper Cassper Nyovest on their African Throne tour.

The Eazy hitmaker opened up about how fame made him more protective of his space. 

“The more you make it and the longer you stay in the limelight, the more you have to protect yourself and your energy. You tend to withdraw from that. There's less human interaction. A lot of it is transactional and promotional, so you limit your access and you become different.

“You live in a bubble because you're so protective and you miss out on normal human experiences. When that happens, it's good for your mental health to have people around you who still expose you to the normal side of life.”

Previously speaking to TshisaLIVE about living his dream, the 25-year-old said he set his sights on becoming a global figure a long time ago. 

“It’s been an amazing journey. I’m lucky to be the type of person to be patient with all of it. I know that if I want it to last I have to put in just as much time building it. But it’s been a crazy journey. A lot of things I thought I would only achieve way later in my career I have already achieved and I’ve met the people who inspired me to start making music. I’ve done more than meet them, I’ve made music with them and their people.”
