If there’s one thing about Nadia Nakai, it’s that she doesn’t let a shady comment slide.
This week, timelines were buzzing after the rapper and Prince Kaybee went head-to-head online over her rumoured romance with Amapiano star Toss (real name Pholoso Ramajoe).
What started as a cheeky comment quickly turned into a public sparring match and fans were front row for every second.
The comment that lit the match
It all began when Nakai posted a series of striking photos on Instagram. Enter Prince Kaybee, who jumped into the comments section with a loaded question:
“Are you being ‘tossed’ around?”
The wordplay didn’t go unnoticed. And neither did Nakai.
Without missing a beat, the “Bragga” rapper fired back:
“Nope, just like YOU weren’t filming.”
The response was widely interpreted as a direct reference to Kaybee’s past leaked intimate video scandal, a saga that once dominated social media conversations.
And just like that, the temperature rose.
Round two: Umlando enters the chat
Rather than bow out, Kaybee returned with another pun, referencing Toss’ breakout hit Umlando.
“You are being Umlando’d then,” he wrote.
But Nakai wasn’t done. She doubled down with another pointed reply, clarifying that the intimate visuals she shared with Toss were entirely consensual.
“Our music video was consensual. I understand your confusion,” she responded.
The remark appeared to underline the difference between staged, agreed-upon artistic expression and content that circulates without consent, a subtle but sharp distinction.
Are Nadia Nakai and Toss dating?
The exchange reignited speculation about Nakai and Toss’ relationship status.
Earlier this year, around Valentine’s Day, the two sent social media into detective mode after posting steamy photos together. The chemistry was undeniable — Nakai in a leopard-print one-piece and gold chain, Toss shirtless in caramel trousers and Prada shades.
Rumours of a romance quickly spread.
Instead of confirming or denying anything, the pair let the visuals do the talking, releasing a cinematic music video for Uyang’Hlayisa. Shot against a luxury yacht backdrop, the video featured intimate scenes that blurred the line between performance and reality.
Mzansi did what it does best, speculate.
Fans pick sides
As expected, social media had opinions.
Many fans applauded Nakai for standing her ground. Comments like “Wack him again for me” and “What a comeback!” flooded timelines. Others debated whether the exchange was playful banter taken too far.
In South African pop culture, public clapbacks are almost a sport. But they also highlight deeper conversations around consent, reputation and the power of words in the digital age.
More than just gossip
While some see this as light-hearted celebrity drama, the undertones matter.
Nakai’s response wasn’t just witty, it touched on accountability and ownership of one’s image. In an industry where women are often scrutinised more harshly than their male counterparts, her refusal to be reduced to a punchline resonated strongly with supporters.
Whether this exchange ends here or sparks another round remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Nadia Nakai knows how to control a narrative and when necessary, flip it.
And in Mzansi’s ever-watchful social media streets, that’s a skill worth mastering.
