Netizens react as Cassper Nyovest dodges calling out Elon Musk and Trump

In the comments section, several netizens lamented how the rapper’s late nemesis, AKA, would’ve taken action. Some netizens argued that by remaining silent, Cassper was being complicit. His fans applauded him for his stance. Here are some of the comments:

@SamSimmple argued:

“But doesn't silence not also speak? Does inaction not carve its own legacy? The great thinkers have long debated whether the weight of truth is carried by the one who speaks or by the many who listen. Yet, here we are, on a platform owned by a man who left his birthplace yet still shapes its narratives. And there you are, invoking the names of titans as if their size alone justifies their dominion. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that even empires tremble when those deemed insignificant choose to rise. So, bra yaka, the real question is, when does silence become complicity?”
