TimesLIVE reported that 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.
