DJ Speedsta has hit back at the hate he received on the TL at the weekend, telling his critics they cannot diminish his impact in South Africa's hip-hop scene.

This after an X user said he and other hip-hop DJs don't respect South African hip-hop, saying they hardly play local artists in their sets.

In a series of X posts, Speedsta spoke of his 15-year career and contributions to the success of the industry. 

“You must do your job at the highest level for 15 years for somebody to come tell you you  aren’t the best carpenter! Be careful of the things you say to peopleDon't just run your mouth nje. Be careful! Might hurt yourself!” he wrote.

“There isn’t a single South African hip-hop DJ out there who plays or speaks or looks or talks or has more than me. I’m off Twitter because I’ll tell you all to go f*ck your dogDon’t ever In your life play with me!!!! I’m done. Bye.

“You guys stop booking me, giving me deals, etc etc because you say 'he’s a hazard'. I’m an even bigger hazard now!! F*ck you, and your big brand! I build my own sh*tI’m hip-hop!”
