A-Reece & Flvme Handshake Moment Sparks Music Collab Fever. Two of SA hip hop's most closely watched rivals, A-Reece and Flvme, were seen shaking hands backstage at 25K's Loyal To The Plug show on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Propaganda Pretoria -- an ice-breaker moment that sent the crowd (and timelines) into overdrive. The event itself has become a flagship Pretoria hip hop fixture, with this year's edition confirmed for October 25 at Propaganda and ticketed via Webtickets.
In remarks that help frame just how deep the rift once ran, Flvme previously described their 2019 fall-out as "the craziest heartbreak I ever felt," recalling weight loss and the emotional toll that followed -- context that makes Saturday's brief truce feel more like a new chapter than a photo-op.
The seeds of the feud trace back to the unravelling of The Wrecking Crew in 2019. On "Carele$," A-Reece appeared to suggest that Flame's (now Flvme's) exit involved a woman -- an implication that hardened camps and fanned speculation across the scene. Interviews from that period, plus a viral clip of a heated exchange between the two, cemented the narrative of a personal split layered on top of creative and business disagreements.
Fan-shot clips and posts from the weekend quickly highlighted a short but unmistakable handshake between the former collaborators, with many urging the pair to "take it to the studio." While neither artist has formally commented on a joint record, the symbolism of a public peace at a home-city show -- under the banner of 25K's Loyal To The Plug -- was enough to ignite collaboration chatter.
A-Reece and Flvme's chemistry has never been in doubt; their Wrecking Crew era helped define a sound that blended diaristic writing with fluid, melodic hooks. A reconciliation would not only satisfy long-suffering fans but could also reset a generation's narrative -- pivoting the story from fracture to legacy. With Loyal To The Plug reaffirming Pretoria's centrality in the culture and both artists in productive creative phases, the runway for a single, or even a surprise two-pack, feels wide open.
Saturday's handshake doesn't erase years of history, but it does something just as powerful -- it reopens the door. In a year where fans have repeatedly asked for unity and quality over metrics, the sight of A-Reece and Flvme choosing grace in Pretoria might be the spark that finally turns timelines into tracklists.
