CONFLICT in the music industry, both national and international, is never-ending. Toya Delazy has expressed regret over her past collaboration with Cassper Nyovest on X (formerly Twitter).
Delazy, a musician from KwaZulu-Natal now living abroad, shared her thoughts about her 2015 hit song, “My City”. The song, which features Cassper Nyovest, went viral when it was released.
The granddaughter of the late Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi now wishes she had worked with the late rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes instead.
A fan praised Delazy for her work on “My City”. She responded: “No lie, I wish I didn't collab with that kid. I can't listen to it.”
She added: “Yeah, waste of a good song. I could have got AKA but I was young and wasn’t thinking, should have followed Sony’s direction with this one, my heart was too big, and I gave a chance to a vile person. But I’m glad you dig it.”
Lol no lie wish I didn't collab with that kid. Can't listen to it https://t.co/HbL3YIjw7O

While @SharkRayza said: “Gave a chance? I think he gave the chance to you. Even today I still don’t know you besides that song and it was because of Cassper. Look. I like nothing about Cassper but the truth is the truth.
“You are delusional if you think you gave him a chance. He was big already.”
"Gave a chance"?

I think he gave the chance to you. Even today I still don't know you besides that song and it was because of Cassper. Look. I like nothing about Cassper but the truth is the truth. You are dillusional if you think you have him a chance. He was big already
