Cassper says people never believed a 'Maftown boy' would reach these levels
He's happy he's proving them wrong!
No matter how much "hate" is thrown at Cassper Nyovest, the rapper always manages to bounce back harder and he gives credit to his loyal Tsibipians aka his fans.
Cassper, who was announced as one of two SA artists nominated at the BET awards, has been hard at work campaigning for votes to bag the award. He replied to a tweet by one of his followers who observed that Cassper wasn't receiving support from industry mates.
The rapper took to Twitter to explain that he's learnt that there's so much "hate and envy" that has led to people only hyping a person's demise. He said that is why he appreciated his fans.
That’s South Africa for you. So much hate & envy. We would rather hype someone’s demise or clown them. That’s why I appreciate & love my fans so much bro!! My fans ride hard!!!! #TeamNyovest is a blessing!!! Not everybody in the music industry has loyal fans like mine and I know. https://t.co/yGF9D1z0Fh

While on his way to catch a flight to London, Cassper also caught some feels when he remembered how far he'd come despite naysayers who crushed his dreams.
The rapper remembered the time he overheard someone say how there would never be another Maftown-born rapper, other than Khuli Chana, who would break boundaries.
Guys, I remember a promoter telling his friend that after Khuli , there will never be another Tswana rapper who would come from Maftown and break into the Durban market cause we are regional rappers. Well, I’m about to catch a flight to London. DONT EVER NYATSA PEOPLE GUYS!!!
