Cassper Reveals Why He Jumped On Amapiano. Refiloe Maele Phoolo, professionally known as Cassper Nyovest, is a South African rapper, songwriter, entrepreneur, record producer and part-time boxer. Born and raised in Mahikeng, North West, he is regarded as one of the most successful artists in South Africa.
The star jumped onto amapiano about a year ago and is currently promoting his forthcoming Hip Hop single. This has confused some fans, saying he has turned his back on amapiano. However, the rapper did not let the claims lie down as he responded to a fan asking him why he was doing amapiano in the first place. “Cause I do what I want and you do what you can. Hip hop taught me that,” he replied.
His first amapiano song off his Album titled ‘Siyathandana’ is still topping trends to date. Rapper Cassper has reacted to the list of the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) top 10 songs. The rapper’s Amapiano hit song, Siyathandana sits at number 10 as one of the most radio-played songs which is exciting and shocking to Cass as the song was released in 2021. “Siyathandana is still top 10 ? Crazy !!!” he exclaimed.
Some of his fans were excited and congratulated him, but a few were curious about his relationship with Boohle featured on the song Abidoza produced. Cassper and Boohle had a clash weeks after the song was released as the singer revealed in an interview that Mufasa contributed nothing to the song. “You still got beef with @BoohleSA or it was just lie because they were rumours that you didn’t want to submit this track for SAMA nominations. What’s the story?” a fan asked.
