Former actress Nirvana Nowke continues to advocate as an alleged survivor of sexual assault within the South African entertainment sector. While she has stepped away from acting, she also pursues a singing career and has moved her efforts into the studio. Recently, she shared a preview of her upcoming release, which appears to draw from her experiences with Bonko Khoza.
In a noteworthy Instagram video, Nirvana Nowke showcased a track titled Consent, featuring her vocals over a trap-inspired beat. The lyrics express her admiration for an honest man who seeks consent. Nirvana composed the song:
“I like when he asks me / I like when he gets me / He doesn’t hit it, but I give it, and we make it nasty / I like when you’re honest cause I like sex beyond this.”
The remainder of the song emphasizes Nirvana’s confidence in her body, suggesting that it can have a powerful effect on men while reiterating that no one has the right to infringe on her consent: “Feeling on my body but you know it’s my body.” Watch the video of her new song below:
