Famous South African rapper Cassper Nyovest criticized his best friend Carpo for failing to greet him.

The Doc Shebeleza hitmaker, real name Refiloe Phoolo, criticised Carpo during his famous live gaming streams on 7 September 2025 and called him disrespectful for not acknowledging him:

"Litha just walked in now, and he greeted me. You, on the other hand, come in and the first thing you ask is, 'Why aren't you answering your phone?' That's not okay."

The incident apparently wasn't Carpo's first offence, and Mufasa went on to call him to order for disrespecting him.

While their decades-long friendship remains solid, their recent clash speaks to how common courtesy often slips away in close friendships. Social media weighed in on their argument.
