The creative in question, who goes by Peezus Niice, shared two videos he shot during the Rocking the Daisy festival in South Africa. It looks like the Brooklyn rapper played at the fest last year.

“I’ve been quiet and chasing for mooonths, after submitting work for @FivioForeign when he came to SA for @RockingTheDaisy. they booked me to cover his weekend here. I did that, they loved the videos,” Niice wrote. “Pls help me RT until they pay my rack, this I won’t let slide.”
