Who is David Junior Ngcobo? Most people probably wouldn't know. But if you ask "who is Nasty C?", most people in South Africa who are below retirement age will know exactly who you're talking about.

Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo is the South African rapper, song writer and record producer known professionally as Nasty C. Born in 1997, Nasty C released his debut album in September 2016 at the age of 19 and became a household name almost instantly.

It seems, though, that he may not be able to use his well-known professional alias for much longer.

It has been very recently reported in the press that after having a fall out with his former management company, Freeworld Music, Nasty C has now received a cease and desist letter from them, calling on him to immediately cease using the stage name because he does not own the rights to it.
