Blxckie Responds To DJ Speedsta’s Remarks That He Didn’t Do Shvt In 2025. The South African hip-hop space is once again in full debate mode after DJ and media heavyweight DJ Speedsta shared a blunt take on one of the genre’s most talked-about young stars during a recent episode of his podcast, Up to Speed.
The comment surfaced while Speedsta and his co-hosts were breaking down OkaySwisher’s highly anticipated 2025 Wrapped list—a year-end ranking highlighting the hottest MCs in South African hip-hop. Notably absent from the prestigious top spots was Blxckie, prompting Speedsta to deliver the now-viral line: “Respectfully, Blxckie didn’t do shvt in 2025.”
OkaySwisher’s list, shared late last year, sparked widespread debate across the culture, with fans and critics weighing in on who truly dominated the scene. The exclusion of Blxckie—who has built a strong following through melodic trap vibes, consistent features, and influence on younger artists—seemed to fuel Speedsta’s assessment, framing it as part of a broader conversation about the year’s standout performers.
Speedsta’s remarks exploded on social media with supporters defending Blxckie’s quieter but impactful 2025 (including key features on tracks like Kwesta’s “Ghost,” Naledi Aphiwe’s “Waiting For You,” and rumoured Cassper Nyovest-linked work, plus major festival appearances. Others sided with Speedsta, suggesting the 25-year-old hadn’t matched the headline-grabbing momentum of prior years with a major solo drop.
Blxckie (real name Sihle Sithole) responded swiftly on X, keeping it playful yet pointed: “eish I think bro mad I didn’t come freestyle for him. ngyaxolisa khehla lami. kodwa-ke angsezi.” (Roughly: “Eish, I think bro is mad I didn’t come freestyle for him. Sorry my guy. But I’m not coming anymore.”)
Some see Blxckie’s response as a classy deflection, while others argue Speedsta’s “respectfully” didn’t soften the sting enough in what feels like unnecessary shade.
Up to Speed is poised become a go-to for unfiltered hip-hop takes, and this episode proves why—Speedsta’s no-holds-barred style keeps the culture talking. As of now, neither side has escalated, but in SA hip-hop, one viral clip can turn into bars, features, or full-on beef at any moment.
