The longstanding feud between Cassper Nyovest and AKA has been a topic of discussion among fans and critics alike. While many believe that Cassper needed AKA to gain relevance, the truth behind their beef tells a different story.
According to insiders, the tension between the two rappers began in 2013 when AKA heard Cassper's song "Gusheshe" and wanted to feature on the track. However, Cassper declined, opting to collaborate with OkMalumKoolKat instead. This decision reportedly left AKA feeling sour, and the seeds of their beef were sown.
Fast forward to 2015, AKA released his diss track "Composure," targeting Cassper Nyovest. But what many forget is that Cassper had already made waves in the industry with his debut album and hit singles, including "Doc Shebeleza." In fact, Cassper's success was already on the rise, with sold-out shows and chart-topping hits.
The numbers speak for themselves: Cassper Nyovest was selling out 20,000-ticket shows at the Dome in Africa, a feat no rapper had achieved before. Meanwhile, AKA's "Composure" was released, sparking a heated exchange between the two artists.
The facts suggest that Cassper Nyovest was already a rising star, and AKA's diss track was a reaction to Cassper's growing success. It's clear that Cassper's hunger and determination drove his career, and he didn't need AKA's validation to become a superstar.
As the debate continues, one thing is certain: Cassper Nyovest's talent, hard work, and perseverance have earned him a spot as one of South Africa's most successful rappers. The question remains: will AKA and Cassper Nyovest ever bury the hatchet, or will their beef continue to fuel the headlines? Only time will tell.
