[@njabuloedwinmasilela5306]

Kwesta gave a shot out to AKA and Caspper, who never even though of mentioning anyone when they were on the show. This guy is a real class act.

[@vanmaluks2542]

Njabulo Edwin Masilela these are effects of having short term memories

[@nkwakutoure]

I think Cassper mentioned them, or at least Sway mentioned them at the end when he said he want to do a show over there.

[@MissTlaleK]

BARS!!! Very articulate, clean interview too. Kwesta represented South Africa well 🇿🇦. Big up!

[@MussKheswa]

Very Clean Interview !!

"they didn't know that signing yourself is the bigger deal" 👏👏

[@ericricky8460]

It has just emerged that he was finnesed by his manager 🚮😂😂😂

[@elpeesartgallery]

I wish Kendrik, Schoolboy Q or Nas can feature this Kid. After listening to his freestyle, he's definitely a perfect fit to feature those guys

[@athimatyalana3238]

Not surprised at all. I knew Kwesta would deliver. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marklutherking8757]

Athi Matyalana but of cause .kwesta is the best in south Africa along with youngster

[@zukisayeyana7740]

Kwesta is so savage, The realest MC in Mzantsi. His personality never changes!!!

[@mohlomphehi]

Kwesta just joined my personal list of Dope Free styles and he is currently no.1 on my charts, Respect!! 2. Lupe Fiasco Freestyle on Sway45 3. Mysonne Freestyle on Flex 4. Sean Price perfoming Barbarian on Sway45 (written) 5. Common spits freestyle on Sway45 (written)

[@Alu-Vee]

Africa Stand up 🌍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Congratulations Kwesta 👑

[@Go_Nkosi]

Kwesta handled the interview very well and he also puts on other cats, big up to a nigga and that freestyle was proof that his a king on freestyle

[@sifisothwala1182]

He really acknowledged his peers... And I feel it's this kinda moves that will lift it all up.

[@Bongz90]

When he said " I dont give two fucks, I'm having 3 sums" I fell off ma chair like i'm posessed by demons in TB Joshua's church

[@meilyn22]

Xhan Rhili Fuck TB Joshua.. Btw, I am a Nigerian.

[@Bongz90]

Yeah that liar

[@Circularmotion07]

Hate to break this to Kwesta but a threesome involves 1 person fucking 2 oth... Ah never mind that freestyle was fire

[@Sizwenate]

@circularmotion He basically means instead of banging 2 chix in different places he bangs both of them in 1 room, that's 1 fuck since it's 1 fuqing session

[@trudytriad4574]

Xhan Rhili 😂😂😂

[@arniemutasa]

I fuck with Kwesta. My favorite African Rapper!

[@sydneymaswanganyi]

I really like how Kwesta conducted this interview. He replied every question well without having to impress. He was honest throughout in my view. Big up boy!!!
