Nyashinski has been known to keep his private life out of the limelight which led tabloids to recently have a field day as he did a traditional wedding.

Nyashinski and his girlfriend wore Ankara outfits with the rapper adding a cane to complete his look.

He later took to social media to assert his advanced position in life and the music industry.

"Today henceforth, you young bulls greet me with two hands!" he posted.
