When you’re one of the biggest rap exports out of Africa, it’s only natural your lifestyle reflects that success. For Nasty C, real name Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, the story is no different. The rapper, known for chart-topping hits and a growing international profile, has an enviable car collection that turns heads just like his music.
Why His Garage Gets People Talking
Nasty C is a known ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, and it shows. His collection features several models from the German luxury brand, each with a blend of performance, prestige, and sleek styling. These cars aren’t just about transport, they’re part of his image. A fast-paced career, backed by fast cars.
Let’s break down the cars believed to be in Nasty C’s garage as of July 2025.
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

- Year: 2016
- Colour: Originally lime-green, later seen in blue
- Specs: 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, 503 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, top speed of 193 mph
This is the star of his collection. A true sports car, the AMG GT is a status symbol in any garage. Whether he bought it new or picked it up used, it’s clear this one is a favourite. Photos of the car have made the rounds on social media, and fans can’t get enough.
Mercedes-Benz AMG C43

- Colour: Grey
- Specs: 3.0-litre V6, 390 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, top speed 155 mph
This model is the sweet spot for those who want AMG performance but aren’t ready to go full C63. Nasty C seems to appreciate this balance. With sharp handling and aggressive styling, it’s a car that suits both city cruising and high-speed runs.
Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 Coupe
- Specs: 4.0-litre Biturbo V8, 375 kW
- Performance: High output, blistering acceleration
This one is often referred to as the real AMG beast. While not many photos exist of Nasty C behind the wheel, multiple sources, including Entrepreneur Hub SA, confirm its presence in his collection. Given the performance specs, it fits perfectly with his brand.
Audi Q2 (Unconfirmed)
- Year: 2017
- Specs: Turbo engines, optional quattro AWD
- Boot Space: 405 litres
The Audi Q2 is the wildcard. Some sources claim it belongs to him; others say it was a loan or promotional feature. If it does exist in his garage, it’s likely the most low-key vehicle he owns: practical, compact, and stylish.
Why the Focus on Mercedes?
Nasty C has been associated with Mercedes-Benz since at least 2016. He’s attended branded events, appeared in campaigns, and generally leaned into the image of performance luxury. It makes sense that the bulk of his collection leans heavily towards AMG models.
Brand alignment? Definitely. But also a matter of taste.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles, especially those with AMG badging, are the automotive equivalent of platinum records: engineered, elite, and impossible to ignore.
Digging into the Numbers
Some reports have offered inconsistent figures around pricing, for instance, listing an AMG GT at R600,000 ($34,000) when the market value is well above R2 million ($114,000). These mismatches likely reflect second-hand purchases, regional import differences, or just plain reporting errors. Still, one thing is clear: these aren’t your average hatchbacks.
And that’s part of the appeal. Nasty C is building a lifestyle that mirrors his career trajectory: upward, fast, and built to last.
Is This the Full List?
Probably not.
Celebrities often keep parts of their collection private. And given that Nasty C hasn’t posted much about cars recently, especially since 2019, it’s possible that new additions haven’t been shared publicly. But from all available public records, this five-car fleet captures the essence of what fans associate with the star.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a fan of Nasty C’s music, his fashion, or his cars, one thing is certain: the man knows how to build a brand. His garage is an extension of his ambition. Not over-the-top. Not cheap. Just right for a global artist who hasn’t forgotten his South African roots.
As he continues to tour, release music, and sign global deals, we might just see that garage expand.
