Who Senyaka is

Senyaka (13 April 1956 – 25 March 2015), also known as Thula Kekana, was a South African rapper, kwaito star, record producer, and actor. A pioneer of African rap in the 1980s, Senyaka gained national infamy for South Africa's first beef when he dissed pop legend Brenda Fassie on his 1993 song, "Ma-Gents".
