Let me tell you about Nina Mncube, a lady who recently took to social media to recount her experiences with none other than the talented rapper Anatii. Nina shared how they crossed paths a few years ago but never managed to build anything substantial. Her candid story quickly spread across platforms, sparking conversations and reactions from all over.
When Nina Met Anatii: A Missed Connection
In a video shared by the always-controversial blogger Musa Khawula, Nina Mncube, better known by her rap name Kneena Kay, dived into the details of her meetings with Anatii. The first encounter happened back in 2011 at a relaxed braai hosted at Anatii's home. At the time, Nina was a first-year student who had a friend working as a promoter. This friend had connections within the music industry and introduced Nina to Anatii. The evening was filled with laughter, games, and good vibes, but little did Nina know what was brewing behind the scenes.
Nina stayed over at Anatii's place that night, but nothing romantic occurred. It wasn’t until later when her friend revealed that Anatii was interested in her and mentioned his financial success. Nina agreed to let her friend pass along her number, but unfortunately, Anatii never reached out. Fast forward to 2013, and fate brought them together again at the Spring Fiesta. By now, Nina worked as a promoter and recognized Anatii immediately. They chatted briefly, and Anatii even invited her to his Sandton residence, but for reasons unknown, they never connected that night. Nina expressed hope that Anatii might see the video and reignite the connection.

Nina Opens Up to Briefly News
In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, Nina elaborated on the situation, assuring everyone that she didn’t mean any harm by creating the video. She explained, “When I made the video, I truly didn’t expect it to blow up the way it did. I was just bored and reminiscing about those fun times. I wasn’t ready for the kind of attention it received, especially the negative feedback.”
“I only wanted to share a lighthearted, quirky moment, so the negativity caught me off guard. If Anatii could forgive me, I’d love nothing more than to collaborate with him in the studio someday.”
Nina further clarified that she had no intention of tarnishing Anatii’s image or seeking clout. She genuinely admires his work and considers him exceptional. “I hope he isn’t offended by my video. I didn’t try to make him look bad. I’m a huge fan of his music,” she added.
What South Africans Think
As you can imagine, Nina’s video didn’t just stay within her circle—it ignited a flurry of reactions from South Africans on social media. Many wondered why she felt the need to share such a personal story publicly. Some users questioned whether keeping the video private among friends might have been a better choice.
@Ndaba_2025 chimed in with a playful remark:
“Kante, you people don’t have close friends to share all this news with? Like, what are we supposed to do, dance?!!??”
@RealXavier011 appreciated her honesty, saying:
“I like the honesty, man. And clearly, she’s interested in him.”

“The man met her twice, and she still didn’t take his number? Damn😭. Maybe he wasn’t that into her, and if she really likes him, why doesn’t she just DM him or something? 👀”
