The SABC1 talk show will debut its first season with Cassper as host after AKA was unceremoniously removed without his knowledge. This resulted in the Energy hitmaker filing a lawsuit to The Braai Show‘s production company, Cake Media and Makhuducom Media with a lawyer’s letter demanding 50% of all the proceeds received from the show.

Cassper Nyovest spills tea on ‘The Braai Show’ deal

Cassper Nyovest recently spilled the tea with his side of the story regarding The Braai Show.

Sitting down with YFM's Banques and Venom for their YouTube series, The Banques And Venom Show, Cassper told his side of the story.

Admitting, in a roundabout way, that he knew AKA created the concept, Cass explained how the show approached him to host the second season.

Cassper was not happy with the offer, however, he made a deal that allowed him to use the platform to promote his brands.
