Music Career
Big Xhosa released his diss track Inyile in May 2021. Speaking on why he released the diss song he said:
“My recent diss track was motivated by the fact that I noticed that I was receiving a lot of traction on Tiktok. I feel like people are sleeping in the game, I wanted to do something that would make people start rapping again. I did not do it for clout, I did it because I wanted to bring entertainment to hip-hop. I did not think that it would be as big as it is right now. I saw that the game is boring, and I wanted to entertain people.”

“Big Xhosa is quitting music. I have found my true calling. It was good, it was fun. It was not fair.”
