Nadia Nakai Explains Why She Never Collaborated With Other Femcees

Nadia on why she felt collabos will dim her light

Nadia Nakai Explains Why She Won’t Collaborate With Other Femcees. Female rapper Nadia Nakai has boldly stated her case on why she never wanted to work with other SA female rappers because they would dim her light. Most people accused her of being against female empowerment in the music industry even so the star said she is not apologetic for that decision becuase she wanted to be on her own and not refered to as just “thst female rapper”.

“There’s a reason why I didn’t do it at the time. I didn’t jump onto those songs and for me, it was okay that I wasn’t on the Baddest remix. I would have never shined as Nadia Nakai. Instead I would have shined as just another female rapper. And, that’s what I didn’t want. I want that when I’m involved in something, Nadia Nakai has an impact.” said the rapper speaking to SlikourOnLife.

Nadia said as a female rapper, she’s had to be very strategic about where she positions herself and who she’s associated with. The rapper also addressed rumours that she was beefing with other female MCs.

“You guys are used to girls fighting. So when girls are together, you go ‘It’s dope that you guys are playing nice.’ But for me, I wanted it to be more about Nomuzi (Mabena) and Nadia are together. It had to be because we are impactful on our own.”

The Naaa Meaan hitmaker explained that she just wasn’t willing to let people piggyback on her hard work.

However, she said a lot of things have since changed, hence she’s more open to the idea of all female collabos now.

“That’s the reason why I didn’t want to work with female rappers before because I felt like nobody had created anything for themselves to make the collaboration impactful. Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj came together because they did so much on their own.”
