Hip hop heavyweight Cassper Nyovest has hit back at the hate he has received for his latest release, “Siyathandana.” While Cassper and the new single trended on Monday because people could not get enough of it, some were not feeling it.
One unimpressed Twitter user took to the app to vent about how they felt the Nyovest had “ruined” the song with his involvement. Cassper responded, schooling the tweep on the real genius behind the hit. The star reminded everyone that he wrote the song and it was his own.
