In a revealing statement, the artist explained that he and his team were asked to start their set ten minutes earlier than planned, only to have an additional fifteen minutes taken from what he deemed the “climax of the show.”
As reported by Cassper, prior arrangements were not respected. “I don’t understand, and I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I just walked off like they asked,” he stated, later expressing that he felt “offended” by the situation and remained unsure if departing was the appropriate action. He extended his apologies to fans who expected a complete performance, saying “Sorry for tonight,” and voiced his irritation that the significant moment he had prepared for was abruptly ended.
The occurrence unfolded during a critical weekend for the festival, a time when many South African hip-hop fans congregate for a shared experience. Cassper’s choice to exit without confrontation highlighted his commitment to maintaining professionalism and safety, even as he pondered the breakdown of agreements made for the event.
Looking ahead, he encouraged his fans to join him for his next major event, calling for supporters to gather at Fill Up Toyota Stadium on December 6 in Bloemfontein. “Please come out in numbers so I can give y’all a proper show,” he requested, framing the stadium concert as an opportunity where he can control key aspects of the performance, including the flow and critical closing moments that he felt were lost at BTTC.
