Podcaster Claims AKA and Cassper Nyovest Paid to Be Interviewed on ‘Sway in the Morning’

• A YouTube podcaster made claims about the late rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Cassper Nyovest
• The team discussed why local stars pay attention to the international market instead of the local entertainment scene when promoting their music
• This led to Thakgi, a TikTokker, alleging that some stars pay to be interviewed on the hit US radio show Sway in the Morning

Only a few artists in South Africa had the opportunity to be guests on Sway in the Morning. While some people assume that the American radio host contacted some of our local artists to be on his show, Thakgi, a podcaster, called their bluff.

Did AKA and Cassper pay to be interviewed by Sway?

A YouTube podcaster and TikTokker, Thakgi, alleged that the late rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Cassper Nyovest were not invited guests on Sway in the Morning. Instead, Thakgi claimed that they paid to be called there.

This revelation was brought on by the team's discussion about local stars prioritising international media outlets over the local entertainment scene. One host said artists prefer overseas gigs because they get paid well, but Thakgi said that is not the case.

"When they go on 'Sway in the Morning', we think that Sway called them, but they actually paid for that."
