After chillers I searched every thing that have Ifani. I want to support this guy now

Ifani seems like a genuine gent, wishing him the best on his journey. There is no greater peace then finding yourself and your purpose

I will love to see this guy on Macg 🎉❤

We are ready Mr Hayimani, buya bhuti wethu, sizakuseka kuko konke ❤️❤️

IFANI is a legend brarrrrrrrrri!!!! cassper must sideline his ego and meet up with him. we humans, spreading love is what builds our character.

Self love is a necessity to each and every soul. Also keep in mind too much of everything can be problematic if it's not handled well.❤❤ Thank you Sbuda and hustlers Corner team for bringing Ifani onto the show

Daaamn Ifani is looking like a man who is at peace and within his element 🔥 great interview I needed to hear this🤌🏽

Ifan is a funny guy but Sbu's interviewing style is not landing for me. and bear in mind I know Sbu is a legend but I think he is perfect for radio not necessarily long form podcast where a guest has to be himself and not commercial like he would if he was on radio. The awkward long pauses, the not laughing at comedic moments and also the thing of interrupting a guests train of thought just to give a random person a shout out is probably what is hampering the growth of this podcast. and also sound Sbu, please take us serious as your audience,

I love ifani. But I feel like his begging doors 🚪 . We re 11 million plus ➕ Xhosa population we got u just make yo music bhuti uyi legend

Ifani will come right, because the truth set him free. He said he is rejected in the industry by the very same people he used to work with. Now he is going to the top without depending on those people. All the best Ifani. 👍🏽

This is amazing, its going to be hard for me when we're doing our episode cause you basically said everything here. Thank you Grootmans.

I always wondered where Ifani disappeared to. I really miss the charismatic and funny raps, you skillful man. For me you never missed

Deep episode. Ifani really walked a dark path. You can just hear it.

ifani is a character by nature, honesty and real about his experience of his life..respect to my guy

Welcome back Ifani. Glad you took a break to sort yourself out. some people remain on the industry, get depressed and suicidal. Hope you have more strength now.

DJ Sbu is legend God bless him, hes an inspiration to all of us who struggle we see the light, when you talk to IFani the Legend it's like you talking me motivating regardless I'm not a super star I'm also inspired God keep you and make you more Great

Loved this interview. In the spirit of Cassper I must also speak things out. While I still have breath, I'm gonna sit down and have a conversation with Ta Sbu on The Hustler's Corner! IFani story was inspiring, because I lost momentum and gave up for now. Letting God take the wheel. Taking my break from tryna make it and reach my goals. Take care of YOU ladies and gents

Am very excited to see ifan again in sa music scene....very interesting character and very smart breeeee❤

I just listened to your intro song bro! You really poured emotions on it! It's actually something I think i needed as your fan. Cause life It's about balance we've lived in happy times with your music... Hearing you saying such things on a song, has shown me that you only human. We roll and learn. Milli!!!

I was hoping for a comeback story, he seems hurt.....wish him the best, I hope he has evolved and caters to the current market while being true to himself!!!

46:00 hheyii am I the only one that heard that snippet from Ifani? Guy's has a voice jong!!!

Sad Story IFaN We were not aware you were going through all this, you had given us great unique hip hop anyway Indoda iwa ngesiphundu not face flat so that you are able to wake up, Good to see you back, we thought you pushing the academics since you have an engineering degree

Thank you Sbu for bringing IFANI, i really enjoyed this conversation.

That’s a song right there… Zabhambha e Bullets lakimi… that’s a hit right there!!

Love this. Well done Sbu, tone of this interview was perfect. Sbu you managed to lightened a deep somber personal story... More fire 🔥

Blawa my hood shout out iFani.

The power of thought, just last week we were just asking ourselves about umjita

I missed you Ifani,I'm glad you took time off .I believe you are more stronger & big things are coming your way..stay blessed ❤

Ifani was big. But I still believe he is going to be bigger. This is not even the beginning. Trust and believe.

Let me say from eastern cape enkosi bhuti dj sbu sbusiso camagu mntana egxogo

Salute to Grootman Sbuda. Ifani we missed you Champ. Keep on Rising🙌🙌

Um happy you back grootman❤❤❤❤

This was insightful and I thoroughly was captivated by IFani and Sbuda can listen attentively hey

Ta Sbu is such a great individual. We appreciate you grootman❤

Yohhh bro. No cap needed to see this coz nam’ im at that kasi phase yaka Grootmaan where I don’t feel like creating and uninspired. But after shifting my thinking izolo something in me changed and I am now more inspired

Ifani ft pitch black afro ♥ ❤ please please please 🙏

People are complaining about sbu in not really good at what he does, and haymani ayfani talking this and that.. but for me, this is a powerful interview with a lot of lessons.. I enjoyed it.. big up sbuda, big up ifani..

Beautiful❤ , thank you Ta-Sbuda . Wishing Ifani the Best. Am happy for him , we fall and we have a chance to rise again...Iyaphambili Ifani ivulelwe wena indlela❤

Please go to Mac G , The interview will hit much better ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ But big up to ifani✊🏾

Its hard to explain an existential crisis when we don't have a word for it

I wish you asked about the cards he is got

Welcome back Mr Hayimani 👌🏼👑🔥🔥🔥

I am also proud of Ifani but most importantly I am super proud of Tar Sbuda... Dankie Grotman

Ifani hayman Dankie Sbu

IFani has always been one of my favourites because I am biased as a Xhosa and I guess I understood him that way, I hope that he does come back

Ifani should have said more on the AKA issue. It ended his career, AKA was jealous of his Gold Status on his 2nd Quadrant.

I love this interview man. Honestly on steroids. Thank DJ Sbu, Thank you iFani

Ifani looks like he is in a dark space

Ifani got that thing of idyani i love that and sbu i love that ❤

Thanks guys for the interview , I've never been famous neh , however I feel like if I was fame was gonna kill me , being private feels so good .

This was such a beautiful conversation. I wish you both well🙏🙏🙏. Stay shining💚💙❤.

This interview is amazing and Mr IFANI both with Dj sbu are killing it

Glad you back ifani.❤ its a new chapter now. U went thru something deeper bro.its unexplainable i know it

Love him and his art ❤God is good always

My opinion Guys ifani was rightfully reading uDj sbu he's been traumatized to the point of depression once he noticed uDj Sbu was nothing but love he opened up started making little jokes laughing the dabs etc... Me personally i understand Ifani so i enjoyed this & Dj sbu is not awkward guys he always explains he loves listening and letting the guest speak.❤ #daipuniverse

Leta,OMboyi,tyebelendle...Sbuda,You the man IFani,thank you bra,for opening up .

just wish he spoke this guy, ubamba eyeke really difficult to get him...

Into ethethwa apha i deep. Izwiwa zindlebe zika moya. #SpiritualityMustLead

that hug at the end touched my soul!!!! DEEP!!!! DANKIE SBUDA as always and Glad to see IFANI back! All the best my G!!! Enkosi!!!

This is giving a Growth mindset type of a vibe. #LIFE

iFANI iz the real entertainer his music never flops lets all watch him sky rocket again

Both you guys are matured mentally and emotionally, may God continue to bless you

All the best Mzayifani

Keep doing your thing bro. Wish you all the best

Let’s support umthakwethu

Ifani bhutayami ❤❤ Get better soon chief . Salute lapho mkhuluwa

Kuyahlekwa noba kubhujiwe!!! What a funny guy! Love this guy, he's so genuine! All the best to him

I remember seeing IFani in Colchester aphebhayi. Great guy!!!!!!

Love and light Mr Hayimani

I love this Channel but I miss Penual the black pen ✒️, but S/O to grootman

The One & Only iFani......WELCOME BACK !....make it dangle one more time.

Wow, nice interview DJ Sbu, iFani kindly work on something with Molly (Superman Omnyama) , I think the combination nje would be massive, trust me.

I wish I could understand lomjita yaz, I've watched few interviews zakhe but ha.a marn

DOPE INTERVIEW. I LOVE THE HONESTY. SUPER SMART.

Ifani is such a cool, funny guy

Pass him almost everyday on my way to work; whilst he was jogging(South End) pass Algoa FM and boomtown, taking time out.

These negative comments remind me how cruel and heartless some black South Africans are. Black killing black, saying mayife inja(die dog), black stealing from another black, black selling another black, black poisoning another black, black taking from another black. Black laughing at another black's downfall. Black jealous when God blesses another black.. isizwe ziyasihleka, Hugh masekela.. don't hate, appreciate, that's a word of advice. Other nations woke up decade and centuries ago, wake up black south African...I am a black South African too..

Thanks for bringing ifani through I relate a lot to his struggle, this interview motivated me a lot.

This was dope, dankie Ta Sbu - can't wait for the 3rd Quadrant

Ta Sbuda,please invite Manando and Sash man (IZINYOKA )

This interview was difficult for @DJSbu - its not having the usual flow

Wooow

Beautiful!

the only thing that Satan has mastered recently is depression... ask me, you would even end up saying being cut off your two hands is far much better than having depression!!!!! IFANI wen through a lot and im sorry that this happened to him

"Umu uhhayi akasebenzi ngcono uzame uEwe Ewe EWe Ewe"

This interview have been amazing if ifani was talking🙁... his talking as if everyone that's watching knows what his talking about

True, he's not starting from scratch but starting from experience!

Powerful Interview.🦁

Whats the point of being in a podcast if you're not ready to talk. Kiernan is not there to say his side of the story so what? Say your side while you still can

IFANI TO THE UNIVERSE 🔥🔥

dope deep conversation awe Ifani 👊👊👊

The greatest Mathematician and Computer Scientist.

Beautiful interview

M glad he came back 🙌♥️

Thank you Sbuu

The sound Sbu..... it's so painful and uncomfortable bhuti. But shout out to you and Ifani, hayi mani!! 🤎

Ifani is a creative
