The Big Hash Claps Back at Critics Following ‘Love Is A Star’ Release
South African hip hop and Amapiano artist The Big Hash has found himself at the center of a fresh wave of online discourse. The artist, known for his ability to blend introspective rap with genre-defying experiments, recently sparked debate after promoting his latest project, Love Is A Star, on the “Always Amapiano” playlist via Audiomack.
The promotional post, shared on May 13, 2026, highlighted his collaboration track “Ngcono,” featuring Blxckie. While the album has been widely praised for its seamless fusion of hip hop sensibilities and the infectious energy of Amapiano, not all feedback was celebratory. One user on X (formerly Twitter) took a public jab at the artist, writing, “u love money SHAME u FORGOT who u are BUT i know u DONT CARE.”

True to his outspoken nature, The Big Hash did not remain silent. He addressed the critique directly, firing back with a sharp response: “I just checked your page, let’s not even talk about the kinda shit that YOU love, bruh.”

Despite the social media friction, The Big Hash continues to maintain a strong industry position. His collaborative work with producers Sly and Kabza De Small on Love Is A Star has been instrumental in expanding his reach beyond traditional hip hop audiences. By embracing the log drum rhythms and soulful vocals characteristic of the Amapiano genre, he has successfully navigated a transition that many artists find challenging, proving his versatility in South Africa’s competitive musical landscape.
As the dust settles on this latest exchange, the artist remains focused on the momentum generated by his recent releases, signaling that his artistic evolution is far from over.
