Sizwe Dhlomo says K.O’s competitors are all dead
South African media personality Sizwe Dhlomo claims K.O is the best rapper in South Africa.
The Kaya FM presenter took to his X account, confidently saying the rapper has no competition in the game, as his competitors have passed.
“K.O has no living competition,” Dhlomo wrote.
While we are unaware of what triggered this claim, Sizwe’s tweet garnered lots of attention
A majority of users didn’t support the presenter’s claim, as they mentioned that the likes of Emtee, Kwesta, Kid X, and others are worthy of a competitor.
One user wrote: “KO? Nah, bro. He is good, but not that good. I know this could sound silly, but Emtee is who I roll with. Nigga is so talented.”
Another commented: “Ok. But. Caracara belongs to KidX Don Dada belongs to OkMalumkoolkat Homeground belongs to Roiii Let me Cook belongs to Maglera018 So maybe longevity/Consistency And Nasty still going… Unless you talking boxing, then yeah, prolly: nothing beats a KO.”
A user chimmed in: “Who’s the guy he features in Let me cook, that bro is the real cook in that song….rapping using acronyms. Hey don’t really know the scene to comment just what you guys play on the radio and I’m guessing that’s probably 20% of what’s out there….”
Besides his Reputation which has led to lackluster releases of late. pic.twitter.com/Hpm8fNCi67
