South African businessman and musician Cassper Nyovest, born Refiloe Phoolo, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the release of the visuals for ‘Kusho Bani’.
The kicker: it appears to be an expensive exercise.
He wrote: “The music video for KUSHO BANI just might be the cleanest music video I’ve shot in my whole career. It cost an arm and a leg and it sure looks like it. Today was amazing !!! Be on the look out!!! How much do you think it costs????”
Netizens were quick to react.
@AndyPhylany guessed: 1 million.

@Just_Lem_ had a different take: “Around R1500 for the person who edited the TikTok videos into a single joint?”

When the track was released, a follower critiqued it, and the rapper didn’t take kindly to it. X user @lisakhat tweeted: “Imbi la ngoma ka Csspr shame” (This song by Cassper is not nice, shame).
Cassper reacted by remarking on her looks. He said: “Okay, but did they post you on Valentine’s Day or not? Judging from di- picture, ha o spec!!!”
