South African artist Cassper Nyovest has shared his thoughts about the recent discussions regarding Travis Scott’s upcoming concert at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
After a workout, Cassper posted a video on Instagram questioning the credibility of the claim, noting discrepancies in the reported ticket sales.
“I am seeing the headlines about Travis Scott being the biggest solo concert in South Africa. Apparently, they sold 75K tickets. They said 60K, but now it is 75K. I also see the conversation around me having 68K people, and that actually being the biggest rap concert in Africa,” he said.
While casting doubt on the reported numbers, the Mama I Made It artist also reflected on his own contributions to the music scene, expressing gratitude for the attention given to South African acts.
“I am just glad we could push the envelope to a point that we are in the conversation in our land. How crazy this is; how far we have come. I can only give the glory to God for that.”
Cassper took the opportunity to remind his followers of his upcoming Fill Up Toyota Stadium show in Bloemfontein on December 6, 2025, and challenged the notion that international performers are always better than their local counterparts.
“Your local champion, as you guys call me, because, clearly, the Americans are better than us, in your mind. We are out in Bloemfontein doing Fill Up Toyota Stadium. I am very excited about this.”
The rapper, who has been focusing on fitness following body-image criticisms earlier this year, concluded his video on a positive note, assuring fans of an enhanced experience at his concert.
“I am working out right now, getting in shape, making sure I am ready for that because I intend to take it to another level again. Your local champion signing out.”
