Ahead of his #FillUpMmabathoStadium show on December 3, Cassper Nyovest gathered some community members in his hometown of Maftown (Mahikeng) in North West, for a fun run. 

The rapper took to his Instagram timeline images from the event expressing his gratitude to the fans who attended.

"Maftown, I love you. We filled up the streets with love, fun and a togetherness today. Thank you for showing up. We promoting a healthy lifestyle this festive. Next week we #FillUpMmabathoStadium," he captioned the post.

In 2015, Cassper started his concept of #FillUp shows when he sold out his first #FillUpTheDome show, which took place at the  Ticketpro Dome in Randburg, Johannesburg. He later hosted a #FillUp show at Orlando Stadium in 2016, then FNB Stadium in 2017, Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium in 2018, the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg in 2019. He aims to make it bigger and better each time and will not stop because of naysayers. 

“I used to care a lot about people's opinions. I used to be a crowd pleaser, but I grew up, and now I'm doing everything I want to do. I'm doing music I want to make, and I don't care if people like it. I don't want to do what people want me to do, I've done that for too long,” he told TshisaLIVE when speaking of the #FillUpMmabathoStadium show.

“I'm nervous about giving another great show. It's special for me because not only is it my hometown, but it's 2km from my grandmother's house. We have a few surprises. It's always about the memorable stage with #FillUp, we call it the 'Cassper moment'. We are always building for the Cassper moment. I'm looking forward to this one.”
