Did Cassper Nyovest throw shade at A-Reece? The rumoured rivalry between the rappers hit a fever pitch after Mufasa’s latest joke was immediately interpreted as a direct shot at the young rapper.

During a recent interview on 5 FM, Cassper doubled down on his statements from The L-Tido Podcast, where he labelled other rappers as "small boys."

Mufasa explained in both interviews that some rappers are doing well in their careers, "but not great," because they make music for other rappers.

"I make music for everybody; these rappers make music for other rappers. I've said this before, you'll never see 40,000 rappers in a stadium coming to support another rapper. It doesn't make sense."

Further fueling the fire, the Guess Who's Back rapper mocked a classic conscious rap style, suggesting that emcees who focus only on impressing peers should just join a cypher, though it won't generate any income.

"It doesn't make sense, you're there trying to impress Emcee Mkhize with your bars. It doesn't work like that. If you want to do that, open a circle and rap, and the broers will pay you in 'oooh!'"

While he did not mention names, Twitter (X) user sahiphop247 suggested that the comment was a subtle jab at A-Reece, linking it to Cassper's past comments about the Paradise rapper's career.

During his interview with L-Tido, Cassper noted that Reece would be doing much better in his career if he branched out and stuck out of his niche.

"I'm not taking shots at A-Reece. It's nice that he has this mystique about him, but when was the last time he performed in Venda, Newcastle or Kwa-Mashu? I'm not here to be 'okay,' I'm trying to compete at the highest level and make the most amount of money that I can. I'm not trying to be in a niche market."
