Cassper Nyovest, the seasoned South African rapper, recently found himself in hot water after showing support for rising international star, Tyla. Tyla gained fame with her hit song, Water, which became a viral sensation on TikTok. As she performed on an American stage, Cassper Nyovest took to Instagram to rally support for her.
However, his efforts were met with scepticism from some netizens who questioned his motives. Speculations arose, suggesting that Cassper was seeking personal gain or a collaboration with Tyla. One Instagram user, @yaki_za, commented, “Knowing Cassper, he just wants to make a Remix and ride her wave.”
Cassper did not take these allegations lightly and fired back at @yaki_za, stating, “The issue here is that you don’t know me. You couldn’t even get in the same room with me, you check?” This response only fueled the controversy further, with other netizens joining in to express their doubts about Cassper’s intentions.
Amidst the backlash, there were voices of support for Tyla and criticism towards Cassper. Instagram user murry20th urged, “Let a coloured girl have her lane and leave her alone. Keep making hits, Tyla.” Another user, rossmanicure, sarcastically commented, “Of course, the next thing he’s gonna be saying is if it wasn’t for me, what.”

While the controversy rages on, it is essential to consider both sides of the argument. On one hand, Cassper’s support for Tyla could be seen as genuine, with the intention of uplifting a fellow South African artist. Tyla’s success represents a positive achievement for the country’s music industry, and it is natural for established artists to show solidarity.
On the other hand, the entertainment industry is known for its hidden agendas and opportunistic behaviour. Some netizens believe that Cassper’s support for Tyla is merely a means to gain attention or secure a collaboration. These sceptics argue that Cassper’s involvement could overshadow Tyla’s individual talent and diminish her achievements.
Ultimately, only Cassper Nyovest knows his true intentions.
