Award winning South African hip hop artist who
answers to the moniker Cassper Nyovest has
said his family tree traces its roots to Malawi
and it is always special for him to perform in the
country.
Nyovest who returns to Malawi in December for
a performance, has said his ancestor walked all
the way from Malawi to South Africa.
“My grandfather walked from Malawi with a
group of friends and settled in Potchefstroom,”
says Cassper.
The Doc Shebeleza hit maker also says his
Malawian roots make him feel special when he
is performing in the country.
He said: “Performing in Malawi in December.
Always special for me cause that’s where my
family tree starts.”
Reacting to Cassper’s claims, some quarters
have said the South African star is only trying to
market his forthcoming show in Malawi.
“He wants to strengthen the bond with his
Malawian fanbase ahead of his impending
performance. Don’t be deceived he is not ours,”
said Lovemore Mdumuka
Nyovest is considered to be one of Africa’s hip
hop giants. He has won a number of awards in
the hip hop category.
He has also promoted a number of musicians
who are now international brands. One of the
artists who benefited from his promotion is
Malawi’s Gilbert Kamoto who is popularly known
as Gemini Major.
