Cassper often shares his views on other African countries.
Last year the rapper called out leaders in Africa for failing to adequately make vaccines accessible across the continent.
The star said the generations to come will remember leaders for “stealing” from their citizens.
“African leaders have failed their people. This was an opportunity to fix your legacy, but you saw an opportunity to steal more. We will remember you as thieves. Stealing livelihoods, stealing people's health, which ultimately leads to more people dying when they could've lived.”
