US rapper Nilla Allin turns Cape Town trip into song called ‘Voetsek’

US RAPPER and TikTokker Nilla Allin is in the country and making the most of her time here: learning the lingo and experiencing our woes.

She’s been in Cape Town for less than week but has already dropped a song called, Voetsek, which has gone viral, and is available on Spotify.

The song came after social media users asked her to make a song and include the word voetsek in it.

She did, and went a step further mentioning all the things that affect South Africans, including blackouts.

The lyrics include: “Middle finger to my haters yelling, voetsek. In The Mother City, they say I'm the goose. They call me Palesa, sweet like nectar, face real pretty and my body real lekker. I shine bright baby, I'm the light during loadshedding.”

On Instagram she wrote: “It is SOOO LIKE ME to turn my trip into a song! Voetsek out now on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube! Thandeka drops in 3 days You ready? #nillaallin #thandeka #southafrica“

In a separate post responding to a fan who said: “Imagine being famous in South Africa and less popular in your own country ... How crazy”, she wrote, “If I’m being honest, to me success is way more than clout, fame, or a ‘blow up’.

“To me it’s doing what I love, having control over my art, impacting and inspiring others, and being able to look in the mirror and be happy with who I am and the decisions I’ve made.”
