The musician recently revealed he's on a weight loss mission following bodyshaming comments from trolls.
Netizens had a go at Cassper after his Scorpion Kings with Friends Live performance.
Cassper described the comments as "harsh" and admitted it had hurt his feelings. But, he said, he needed the push and is aiming to be in shape before his concert in December.
"It is a projection about how you feel about yourself," he said.
"Body shaming and all of that. You don't know what I'm going through. I'm going to turn the lemons into lemonade.”
He added that he's been mixing up his training, doing cardio, playing tennis and lifting weights. He's also cut sugar and carbs and is currently on a carnivore diet, a diet that mostly consists of eating meat.
Speaking to Briefly News journalist Tayananiswa Zvikaramba, a fitness expert and certified personal trainer, shared how Cassper Nyovest can speed up his weight loss.
The fitness expert shared that Cassper Nyovest is on the right track with the carnivore diet and just needs to be consistent with his gym routine.
"Cassper just needs to be on a calorie deficit, have sufficient protein intake, and be consistent at the gym, simple as that, really," the fitness expert shared.
