Nasty C Crowns Baby Diaz’s ‘Enemies’ As His Favourite SA Hip-Hop Video Of All Time. In a recent interview that sparked excitement among hip-hop fans, multi-award-winning rapper Nasty C revealed his pick for South Africa’s ultimate music video—and it’s a name that may surprise many.
When asked, “Music video of the year of your choice?” the Durban-born lyricist didn’t hesitate. “Baby Diaz, the song is called ‘Enemies.’ My favourite South African hip hop music video of all time. Such a clean video, the standard is crazy,” Nasty C declared.
Known for his own cinematic visuals and global appeal, Nasty C’s co-sign of Baby Diaz is more than just a casual shoutout—it’s a nod to the evolving artistry and rising standard of visual storytelling in South African hip hop. “Enemies,” a sleek, high-production video by the emerging artist Baby Diaz, showcases not only striking visuals but also a raw and authentic aesthetic that resonated with the Zulu Man With Some Power.
Social media has since lit up with fans revisiting the “Enemies” video, praising its crisp direction, sharp editing, and the unapologetic energy Baby Diaz brings to the screen. While Nasty C’s endorsement came in response to a simple question, its impact may be far-reaching.
For Baby Diaz, who took to social media to react to Nasty C’s acknowledgement, it was all gratitude and excitement. The rising star expressed heartfelt appreciation, clearly moved by the recognition from one of South Africa’s most respected hip-hop heavyweights. “👁️V☀️ so grateful 🙏❤️ #Enemies out Now,” wrote Baby Diaz on Instagram.
