- Social media is abuzz with the belief that Cassper Nyovest has intensified his ongoing dispute with A-Reece
- Mufasa commented that hardcore rappers create music intended for their peers rather than for fans, a remark quickly identified by netizens as a thinly veiled attack on A-Reece
- The statement triggered widespread discussion online, prompting numerous supporters to rally behind A-Reece’s artistry and achievements
Did Cassper Nyovest send a veiled message to A-Reece? The alleged conflict between the two artists reached a peak after Mufasa’s recent joke was seen as a direct comment regarding the younger artist.
In a recent chat with 5 FM, Cassper reiterated his earlier claims from The L-Tido Podcast, where he referred to some of his fellow artists as “small boys.”
Mufasa further elaborated in both interviews that while certain artists achieve a degree of success, they often excel only moderately because they are targeting their music toward other rappers.
“I make music for everybody; these rappers make music for other rappers. I’ve said this before, you’ll never see 40,000 rappers in a stadium coming to support another rapper. It doesn’t make sense.”
Adding fuel to the discussion, the Guess Who’s Back artist ridiculed a traditional conscious rap style, suggesting that those who aim solely to please their peers should opt for cyphers, emphasizing that such performances do not generate revenue.
“It doesn’t make sense, you’re there trying to impress Emcee Mkhize with your bars. It doesn’t work like that. If you want to do that, open a circle and rap, and the broers will pay you in ‘oooh!'”
Without specifying names, Twitter (X) user sahiphop247 inferred that the remark was a pointed criticism of A-Reece, connecting it to Cassper’s previous comments about the Paradise rapper’s professional journey.
In his talk with L-Tido, Cassper asserted that A-Reece would likely see greater success if he expanded his reach beyond his established niche.
“I’m not taking shots at A-Reece. It’s nice that he has this mystique about him, but when was the last time he performed in Venda, Newcastle or Kwa-Mashu? I’m not here to be ‘okay,’ I’m trying to compete at the highest level and make the most amount of money that I can. I’m not trying to be in a niche market.”
Essentially, the interviews, despite being misconstrued by many, reflected Cassper’s intent to encourage fellow artists to aim for their greatest potential.
Nonetheless, his comments were taken as a direct and hostile attack on A-Reece and other artists.
