@Tshenol27897358 replied:

“We understand there's professional jealousy everywhere, even Ibrahimovic doesn't rate CR7, but CR7 is far better than him. So, even you, when you compare your life to that of Cass, you’re far behind, hence the jealousy.”

@Mrblaqforest claimed:

“😂 At some point, every musician and rapper in the country was inspired by his moves in the music business, yourself included. Most of y'all aren't even built for the kind of consistency that lets you wear one stage name your whole career. 🤣🤣”

@YungZuluIqhawe explained:

“Cassper is actually a good rapper when he raps in his own language. When he raps in English, he definitely qualifies as a gimmick.”
