Nasty C Set to Perform Live in Freetown for the First Time

What started as a rumor has now become official. South Africa’s award-winning rapper, Nasty C, is coming to Freetown, Sierra Leone, for the very first time. The chart-topping hip-hop star will perform live on November 21, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Garden, in a show proudly presented by Gbambaode Festival and Wynn Records.

Earlier this year, Nasty C launched his “Ivyson Tour”, which was set to take the artist across Africa. At the time, Sierra Leone was only a hopeful contender on the list of possible destinations. Now, that dream has become a reality as Freetown officially joins the Ivyson Tour map, a major win for local fans who have long awaited a chance to see one of Africa’s biggest rap exports perform live on home soil.

The Ivyson Tour, inspired by the memory of Nasty C’s late mother whose nickname was “Ivyson,” has evolved into a cultural movement that celebrates talent, growth, and connection among African youth. From Harare to Lusaka, and now Freetown, the tour has become a symbol of African hip-hop’s reach and influence.

Nasty C’s upcoming performance promises to be nothing short of electrifying. Fans can expect him to perform hits like “Zulu Man With Some Power,” “Black and White,” and his recent released album “Free ” alongside other fan favorites that have cemented his place as one of the continent’s most respected rappers.
