Fresh off winning the HomeComing Artist on the Rise competition, Stige is positioning himself as one of the country’s most promising emerging voices. “The support has been overwhelming… this feels like growth, purpose, and progression all at once,” he shared.
Blending hip hop lyricism with Afro pop influences, Stige represents a new generation of artists unafraid to fuse sound, culture, and ambition.

Here’s a merged and polished version:
Nasty C recently addressed whether he would ever appear on Tswayza’s platform, revealing that he currently has no plans to do so despite having great respect for the show.
The rapper praised the production and described it as a valuable platform, even expressing hope that it continues to grow and attract major investment in the future.
“I hope a brand comes through and they give them a mega budget,” he said.
Despite his admiration for the platform, Nasty C admitted that he has no personal interest in sitting down for an interview on the show at this stage of his career.
“I personally do not want to do it,” he stated.
While explaining his reluctance, the rapper acknowledged that he doesn’t fully understand the reason himself. He dismissed the idea that fear is holding him back, suggesting it may simply come down to comfort, motivation, or knowing where he feels he fits.
“Maybe at some stage my feelings will change,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s just like I’m too nervous — that’s not the word. Maybe lazy? Maybe I’m too lazy to do something like that? I don’t know.”
Nasty C further explained that his decision is tied to a personal feeling that he does not belong on the platform right now.
“I feel like people should know where they belong. I don’t belong there. I don’t wanna do that.”
However, he was careful to ensure that his comments were not interpreted as criticism of the show. Before ending the discussion, he doubled down on his admiration for the platform and urged that his praise be included alongside any headlines.
Although he has no plans to appear at the moment, Nasty C made it clear that his feelings could change in the future. His comments have since sparked conversation among fans, many of whom would still like to see the rapper make an appearance on the show one day.
