The moment people have been waiting for has arrived. A few social media users were waiting on rapper Cassper Nyovest to comment on Travis Scott's Circus Maximus show in South Africa, and he did.

The Mama I Made It rapper took to Instagram after his workout session to poke holes in the number of tickets Travis Scott managed to sell for his show.

Scott performed at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, and he made headlines for his epic show, as it was reported that he sold 75K tickets. Nyovest questioned whether this is legitimate, as the first report said he sold 60K tickets.

Nyovest thanked God for helping Mzansi reach this achievement.

"I am just glad we could push the envelope to a point that we are in the conversation in our land. How crazy this is; how far we have come. I can only give the glory to God for that."

Nyovest compared his Fill Up shows to the concert, saying people tend to think that American artists are better than local acts. His Fill Up Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein will be taking place on 6 December 2025.

"Your local champion, as you guys call me, because, clearly, the Americans are better than us, in your mind. We are out in Bloemfontein doing Fill Up Toyota Stadium. I am very excited about this.
