Cape Town – Award-winning Hip Hop producer Gift “PH Raw” Nkuna took to Instagram on Sunday to reflect on his financial woes and give advice about financial literacy.
The critically-acclaimed music artist said he lost his property and car in pursuit of his passion, which is music.
“As a producer and artist, most of my career I’ve been broke. I’ve lived hand to mouth. I left everything I had going for me for the music. Ever since I lost my home, car and family. I am a broke artist, I am a broke producer, I am a broke man,” he said.

He said that he had hid it so well from people whilst he was drowning in debt.
“Over the years I’ve loaned so much money just to maintain my broke. Some I even forgot I owe because as soon as I have it, I need to loan another! What a joke. Broke as I am, I still have much to give.

“Every year for the past seven years I’ve worked for change and stayed broke. My children, nephews and nieces look at me and see more of what they can be. They don’t see what I am, broke,” he said.
