Nadia Nakai was praised for keeping her cool during a misogynistic Kaya FM interview
Award-winning rapper Nadia Nakai visited radio station Kaya FM 959 this week to appear on their breakfast show alongside Sol Phenduka and Sammy T, real name Tongai Mundawarara, who was filling in for Dineo Ranaka.
Sammy T questions Nakai about her relationship with Cassper Nyovest, the head of her previous record company, in a clip of the interview that has recently gone viral.

Sammy T questions the reality TV star on how being around the boys affects her romantic life.
Nakai calmly, but firmly, responded that she was not in a relationship with Nyovest. She further stated that she is not “associated” with AKA but is dating him and was previously signed to Nyovest’s label Family Tree.
The radio host proceeded by rephrasing his questions as regards: “Somebody who doesn’t know you, ‘oh Nadia Nakai, the naked chick, oh okay, AKA”.

To which she immediately objected, saying, “I’m not naked.” Sammy T accepted
but argued in support of his position by saying: “When someone is trying to fast reference who you are, there would be need to references, with one of them being you are dating AKA, right, and how is it affecting you to your brand.
“Does it add to your brand visibility, does it work for it, does it work against it?”
In her response, Nakai acknowledges that people will always have a conversation because of the label she comes from “but I don’t think that will be the main point of reference when you think of Nadia Nakai”.
“I’m on a big Netflix show. I’ve been in the game for a while, I had a lot of stuff contributing to my career as a person. But I think a lot of times when you have a musician as a woman, they attest to who they are dating.” she said.
AKA and Cassper are well-known rivals, so Nakai continued by acknowledging that some people might believe she is dating AKA to spite Cassper. However, but clarifies that, this is not the case and things just happened the way they did.
“For the longest time, I’ve never interacted with this person until when I was about to leave Family Tree. It just happened the way that it happened and I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like it’s something that God did,” she said.
Nakai formally announced her departure from Family Tree in 2021 during an interview with “SlikourOnLife.” She revealed that although her old record label CEO was sorry to see her leaving, he was in favor of her choice.
In earlier interviews, Nyovest also expressed his heartbreak at Bragga’s choice to depart, but he claimed hostility lingered between them.
Comments from social media users on the seasoned broadcaster’s line of questions have been conflicting, with many complimenting Nakai for maintaining composure and conducting the interview expertly.
Shout out to @Nadia_nakai for knowing how to handle interviews ❤️ U are unfuckwithable😀. I respected Sammy T and loved him for a while for but today I'm trully disappointed by the level unprofessionalism displayed on the show. Love Sammy but flip that was wack pa❤️

My girl Nadia handled this situation immensely well, however, this is terrible Journalism from a Radio Presenter, his questions were borderline misogynistic, Nadia Nakai has several accolades, if he prepared accordingly, he would’ve had a great interview, she’s got tons to share. https://t.co/JfFNcfiL2f
