Cassper Nyovest said he has drawn a lesson from the death of his friend DJ somebody as he now moves with tighter security guards.
Recall that SurgeZirc had previously reported that DJ Somebody was shot dead by an unknown gunman in his car last year and had since been buried.

Cassper who reportedly spoke to newsmen recently was quoted as saying, “It’s not safe man. I have been ignorant for a very long time and DJ Sumbody’s death woke me and made me realise that we are not safe. His death really f–ked me up.”
The singer also added, “I am always walking around with expensive jewellery I can’t afford to put my life at risk and tempt people,” he says.
“I also need to remember who I am; I am Cassper Nyovest. I am not just some normal guy who can just walk around freely.
“I would love to live like that, walk round the streets, and not be recognised, but I am not that guy. Someone made me realise that this is not the way to go, and Sumbody’s death made me aware that, I need to be safe and remember who I am.
“We spend a lot of money on stupid things, so why not invest in security and knowing that wherever I move, I am a bit safer and everything is controlled.”

Cassper emphasised the importance of security by recalling that when he travels to other countries for shows, the security measures are so extensive that they stand by the door of his hotel rooms.
“It comes as part of the booking. Even before I blew up, when I travel to other countries they come with mad bodyguards and safety. They even stand outside your hotel room, it’s the norm and I will be doing the same here at home. People are hungry.”
