Cassper Nyovest shows AKA respect
On 31 May 2026, Cassper hopped onto X to share how impressed he was with American rapper Jay-Z’s freestyle, which he performed at a Roots Picnic music festival. Many speculated that the billionaire threw shots at Drake, Kanye West, Dame Dash, and more.
Cassper posted, “Notice how Jay’s bars have n*ghas arguing about the actual intent, trying to decode what exactly he’s saying? A lost art. Everything is surface-level nowadays. Nothing left to the imagination like half-naked IG models.”
Seeing the post, X user @Shadaya_Knight commented, “Cassper, with all due disrespect, you could have shown us this art during your beef with AKA. Composure, composure.”
Just after midnight on 1 June 2026, the Doc Shebeleza hitmaker asked the public to let AKA rest in peace.
Supa Mega was shot and killed in a suspected paid assassination outside a restaurant in Durban.
Cassper added in his response, “Like y’all just pushing me to disrespect the man, and I’m not like that. I respect his family and his loved ones who went through something very traumatic and tragic. This conversation is not gonna end well, so yeah, y’all can have it. Congratulations!”
