Big Xhosa Reflects On His Mother’s Disinterest Towards His Music. Big Xhosa has been making waves in the South African music scene with his bold and unique style, but it seems like the road to fame hasn’t always been as smooth as one might think.

Recently, the rapper took to social media to share a heartwarming and humorous story about a moment he shared with a homie and his mom—one that made him reflect on his own relationship with his music and his mother’s reaction to it.

In his post, Big Xhosa recounts how he was chilling with his homie when the latter’s mom began playing his music and singing along to every lyric. For the artist, it was a moment of pure joy, witnessing the love and connection that music can bring to a family. However, his reflection soon took a turn towards his own mother, who, despite his success, has never been fond of his musical journey.
The rapper, who is known for his provocative and often controversial songs, humorously shared that his mother’s first introduction to his music was the hit “iKuku” track with iFani. After hearing it, she made it clear that she would never listen to any of his songs again, claiming they were “too rough” and “zikrwada” (meaning too wild). Laughing it off, Big Xhosa admitted, “I got famous off the wrong music,” but he understood where his mom was coming from.
Despite the early clash between his music and his mother’s taste, Big Xhosa assured fans that his upcoming work would be different, and he is confident that his mother would love it. He promised her that the new music he’s working on is something special, and he can’t wait for her to hear it.
The rapper’s post shows a more vulnerable side, revealing the human behind the artist persona. While many fans know Big Xhosa for his strong stage presence and unapologetic sound, it’s moments like this that remind us of the artist’s journey and the family dynamics that shape his music.
With his upcoming music expected to showcase a new chapter, we can only imagine how his fans—and perhaps his mom—will react to what’s coming next. One thing’s for sure: Big Xhosa is ready to make a lasting impact with a sound that resonates with his family and his ever-growing fanbase.
