“God Showed Me His Love”: Saudi Honors Ruff with a Touching Tribute

Saudi is giving flowers while they’re due — and it’s beautiful to witness.

In a deeply moving social media post, the South African rapper poured out heartfelt gratitude to producer Mfanafuthi “Ruff” Nkosi for his profound impact on both his career and his life. His words weren’t just appreciative—they were spiritual.

“God bless this man abundantly. I cannot be grateful enough… God showed me His love when He put nina in my life.”

The message didn’t stop at Ruff. Saudi also gave love to Jabulani and Mthembeni—believed to be longtime collaborators Sjava and Emtee—acknowledging a bond forged in the golden days of Ambitiouz Entertainment.

But the spotlight here belongs to Ruff—more than a producer, he’s a pillar in Saudi’s journey. Known for crafting some of the most emotionally resonant beats in SA hip-hop, Ruff has been instrumental in shaping the sound and soul of an entire era.

This wasn’t just a thank-you—it was a testimony. A prayer wrapped in words, honouring the brotherhood that carried Saudi through seasons fans never saw.

With his upcoming album Japan on the way, this post feels like a prelude. If this is the emotional depth he’s channeling, the project promises to be something special—an elevation of both craft and culture.

Sometimes, the realest lyrics aren’t on a track—they’re in moments like these.
