The controversial music executive Nota Baloyi insinuated that Cassper had no right to mourn Sumbody's death. He tweeted that Cassper allegedly owed the late DJ R147 000 from a Samsung deal.

"Please send your #RIPDjSumbody tributes to his family and not to that fraud Cassper Nyovest who couldn’t even pay him what he stole from him!
He’s gonna blame him for having to cancel that Fill Up Mmabatho scam he’s been pushing… Pretending he’s not happy he doesn’t have to pay the R147K he owes him from Samsung!
