The phrase “HOSH’KARAMAIMA!!!”, lifted from Kusho Bani, initially received mixed reactions; but with Cassper’s numbers soaring, it’s clear the song has become a cultural moment.
Even respected South African radio and TV host Sizwe Dhlomo weighed in on Cassper’s unstoppable rise, praising his resilience and ability to defy the odds.
“Cassper’s success is actually ordained by God. I’ve seen him time & time again, triumph in adverse circumstances! Always pulling a rabbit out a hat.”
