Renowned South African rapper David Junior Ngcobo, popularly known as Nasty C, has revealed that he is considering changing his stage name.
In a candid interview with Madame Joyce in London, the ‘Coolest Kid In Africa’ crooner disclosed that his stage name doesn’t have a meaning, emphasing that he just put letters together.
He also admitted that he lied about his first producer calling him “Nasty Cat” which inspired his stage name, stressing that he just wanted to have a story about the name.
Madame Joyce asked: “Where does the name Nasty C come from?”
Nasty C: “it’s random. It just put a bunch of letters together and I started making words out of it, and then I picked that one. I have no idea [about the meaning of the name or what it stands for], I don’t know.
“There’s a story I used to tell people. The first guy to ever record me was very close to my big brother. He was having a session and I was supposed to go next and he was telling the guy he just recorded like, ‘Yo, there’s this kid blablabal. He’s really dope. He’s a Nasty Cat.’ Then I took the the ‘AT’ out of Cat to form ‘Nasty C.’
“But it’s a lie. I just wanted to have a story and I wanted to mention that guy’s name because he really did help me starting my career. My stage name is just vibe. I want to change it now.”
