Musician and Entertainer Nadia Nakai and amapiano talent Toss, real name Pholoso Masombuka, have joined forces to produce a project exploring the challenges, misunderstandings, and unspoken rules that come with modern-day relationships through a collaborative EP titled Do’s and Don’ts.
Their collaborative EP, Do’s and Don’ts, is set to drop on 18 September 2026 across all major streaming platforms.

The duo joined forces following a viral moment that trended on social media where Nadia Nakai and Toss shared a kiss in Toss’s music video.
The moment sparked dating rumors and speculation and created enough intrigue around the pair that they decided to pair in an unexpected musical collaboration.
At its core, Do’s and Don’ts is built around the idea of two people falling for each other despite coming from completely different backgrounds. Toss brings the raw energy of his township roots, while Nadia Nakai channels her suburban upbringing and commanding hip-hop presence. Together, they explore how contrasting worlds influence communication, expressions of love, conflict, and loyalty.
Across the EP, listeners are taken through the stages of a relationship, attraction, excitement, arguments, jealousy, trust issues, and the struggle to meet halfway. Each track offers both sides of the story, showing how the same situation can be felt and understood differently depending on perspective.
While fans may expect a straightforward mash-up of hip hop and amapiano, Do’s and Don’ts defies those expectations.
Instead, Nadia and Toss step outside their familiar genres to craft a fresh, surprising sound that reveals new sides of both artists. Their contrasting styles, voices, and energies blend in a way that feels natural yet daring, giving the project its own distinct identity.

More than a romance record, the EP tackles themes of class, culture, and communication, highlighting the realities of building a connection when two people were raised with different ideas of what relationships should look like.
Honest, playful, emotional, and relatable, Do’s and Don’ts offers a front-row seat to the beautiful and sometimes chaotic experience of two worlds colliding.
