Controversial rapper Nota Baloyi has once again found himself at the centre of a heated debate, this time involving South African rapper Cassper Nyovest. Nota recently took to social media to accuse Cassper of lying about the attendance numbers at his historic FNB Stadium concert.
The controversy started when a social media user, @JohnnyMalepa, spoke of Nigerian star Burna Boy for his unsuccessful show and compared it to Cassper Nyovest’s fill-up event. JohnnyMalepa’s tweet read, “We don’t give Cassper Nyovest enough credit for doing 68,000 people at FNB Stadium.”
Nota retweeted the post and expressed his disagreement, saying, “No, we don’t praise lies. He put on a nice production, but there were half as many people there than he claimed.”
No, we don’t praise lies… He put on a nice production but there were half as many people there than he claimed & most of them were given tickets! https://t.co/oA2lMjGHFB

This accusation has sparked a fierce debate among fans and critics alike. While some believe Nota’s claims, others are defending Cassper and questioning the credibility of the allegations.
Cassper Nyovest made history in 2017 when he successfully filled up the iconic FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. The concert was a monumental achievement for the rapper, as it marked the first time a South African artist had filled up such a large venue.
The event was a massive spectacle, featuring an impressive stage setup, pyrotechnics, and a star-studded lineup of guest performers. It was a momentous occasion for the South African music industry and solidified Cassper’s status as one of the country’s biggest stars.

However, Nota’s claims have cast a shadow of doubt over the event’s attendance numbers. According to Nota, the actual number of people present at the concert was significantly lower than the 68,000 figure that Cassper has touted.
As expected, Cassper’s fans and supporters have come to his defence, pointing out that Nota has a history of stirring up controversy and should not be taken seriously. They argue that Cassper’s achievement should be celebrated and not undermined by baseless accusations.
On the other hand, Nota’s supporters believe that he has a reputation for speaking the truth, even if it is unpopular. They argue that it is important to question the credibility of public figures and hold them accountable for their claims.
It remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold and whether any evidence will be presented to support or refute Nota’s claims.
Given or not, someone bought the tickets and they still pulled up
