Rasta the Artist got famous for doing paintings of celebrities, but now it seems that fans have finally had it with him and his poor renditions. His latest painting of Riky Rick did not go well on Mzansi social media.

 

 

The artist recently took to social media to share his painting of the rapper, who was laid to rest yesterday, following a heartbreaking service attended by his friends and family only. It seems like Rasta intended for his painting to be received well, but that has not been the case at all.

Fans of Riky Rick feel like Rasta has overdone the whole “bad paintings” gimmick. They feel like he should actually try to improve his skills or stop painting people altogether, because now he is getting annoying.

But some fans have gone as far as to insinuate that Rasta has some self-hate, racial issues coming out in the way he paints different people. According to one, his paintings are only bad when they are of black people. But when he paints white people, they are actually decent, if not straight up good.

The best example was the painting that he did of the late former deputy president, F. W. de Klerk. For the first time, fans were pleasantly surprised by something Rasta had done, as they applauded his skills. In fact, some even thought that he finally decided to take his art seriously and took some real classes.
