Chad Da Don lifts the lid on what really happened with Cassper

Rapper Chad Da Don has finally spoken out on what really happened between himself and Cassper Nyovest, revealing that he had allegedly been blocked from releasing music on Cassper's music label Family Tree.

Chad, who last year left Cassper's Family Tree record label, told Tonight that he is enjoying his new found freedom away from the label, especially the freedom of releasing new music when and how he wants.

“Nobody can tell me when I have to drop or what I should do. Some of my songs were made during that (Family Tree) time and I wasn’t allowed to put them out. I was like: ‘Why?’ I don’t think that’s fair.”

That freedom has led Chad to release a diss track, entitled Chad is Better, which takes aims at his former boss. Chad says that he has no hard feelings towards Cassper but that Cassper should never have asked him to join the label if he was going to silence his music.

“I do like Cassper, he’s a dope rapper. But we got into the label thing and I wasn’t allowed to release music for a while and, like I said, I don’t blame anyone.  When you’re the biggest rapper, it’s all about you. But you should have never asked me to be a part of your squad then," Chad says.

When Chad left the label and later released the diss track, many said he was trying to ride on Cassper's name for publicity and fame. Chad hit back at this suggestion saying that it was he that made Cassper famous, and not the other way-around.

“I thought that homie (Nyovest) would’ve at least been true to me like I was to him,” Chad said. "Before his success, I was there. Before Gusheshe, he asked me if he could be on my song, Hola. People say he put me on. You don’t have any clue where I come from."
