The song titled, \u201cNinyile (SA Hip Hop Diss)\u201d caused a buzz with its lyrics in which Myeki challenged some of the biggest names in South African hip hop as he believed they needed to be kept on their toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch Big Xhosa&#8217;s diss track, \u201cNinyile (SA Hip Hop Diss)\u201d below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rI021T3V4Lo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Xhosa has an alter ego, \u201cSOS\u201d.

In one post on social media, the iVaccine rapper stated; \u201cBig Xhosa is a rapper not a comedian, you don&#8217;t have to find me funny. I&#8217;ve been getting invites to come do stand up comedy..guys I don&#8217;t even know how comedy works or what I&#8217;d say to make people laugh. I&#8217;m a rapper..The best Rap Rapper Rappest and nothing more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following his breakout, he has received several requests from labels seeking for his signature but he declined all the offers.
