Bad Milk Is About to Shake the Table With “Both Sides” — And We’re Here for It

If there’s one artist who never plays it safe, it’s Bad Milk. Whether she’s spitting fire bars, hosting a stage, or lighting up a live set, the Durban-to-Johannesburg powerhouse always comes with heat—and her upcoming single Both Sides is already sounding like her most unapologetic drop yet.

Real name Ntombikayise Mbali Motloung (but everyone just calls her Bad Milk or Inkomazi now), she’s a genre-blurring force who’s been steadily climbing the game.

So what’s Both Sides all about? Think late-night energy meets real-talk lyrics. The track leans into duality—how people try to play you sweet, then flip on you like a coin. Bad Milk isn’t holding back here; she’s calling it exactly how she sees it. One part flex, one part reflection, all wrapped up in that sharp-tongued delivery that only she can pull off. Whether it’s relationships, industry politics, or just real-life snakes in the grass, Both Sides feels like a statement piece. A mic-drop moment. A warning shot.

But don’t expect it to be all heat and no heart—Bad Milk’s not one to rap just for the sake of noise. She brings style and substance in equal measure, with clever wordplay layered over bass-heavy beats that could turn any car ride into a movie scene. She's got the voice, the presence, and the range to shift from melody to bars in a single breath, and Both Sides sounds like it's going to show every side of what she can do.

Let’s not forget: this is the same artist who’s opened for legends like Riky Rick, Nasty C, and OKMALUMKOOLKAT—and didn’t just survive the spotlight, she owned it. Bad Milk isn’t chasing clout, she’s building a legacy. And the best part? She’s doing it on her own terms, no filters, no fluff.

With a growing list of accolades and a fearless approach to every move she makes, Bad Milk’s trajectory is looking less like a career path and more like a rocket launch. Where’s she going next? No one really knows. But if Both Sides is any clue, it’s somewhere way, way up.
