In a rare moment of vulnerability, South African rapper and businessman Cassper Nyovest shocked fans by bravely opening up about the profound stress and emotional toll caused by staggering financial losses he has recently endured.
On Wednesday, 3 December 2025, the Gusheshe hitmaker spoke in an Instagram video about the immense pressure he has been under due to his financial struggles from organising the Fill Up Toyota Stadium concert.
He spoke at length about how, despite the world-class productions at his concerts and all-star lineups, not to mention ticket sales and major brand sponsorship, he is not making money from his shows.
"Fill Up is always a humbling experience for me because I always have to find reasons to help me carry on. If this were about making money, I'm not making money out of Fill Up, but why do I keep doing it? I keep setting myself up to start another year in debt.

"There are so many reasons why Fill Up shouldn't be happening, but it is, and I'm very grateful. I look forward to fighting this debt," he laughs.
The concert, which officially takes place on 6 December in Bloemfontein, will be Mufasa's seventh in the Fill Up series.
However, he revealed that, for years, he has contemplated retiring from the events industry due to the intense financial pressure.
"I find myself in this position after a few years of doing it, I'm reminded of why I wanted to quit and why I keep saying, 'This is my last one.' It's not easy.
"I feel like this might be my last because it is overwhelming, but all of our partners are promising that next time it will be bigger. We're definitely facing a loss due to a lack of financial sponsorship."
The Kusho Bani rapper revealed that he has also been struggling to pay suppliers, who have been understanding of his situation.

In a candid confession, Nyovest highlighted the disappointment of being turned down by potential sponsors and people who "promised to help but were unable to pull through."
"If I call you tomorrow asking for money, and you're like, 'What do you mean, man? You just had a stadium full of people,' don't be surprised."
Despite all this, Cassper said that his main reason behind the Fill Up event series has always been to push the culture forward, highlighting that the Toyota Stadium event is his chance to "save souls and share the gospel," emphasising that it would be a "powerful spiritual experience."
He reiterated that he is "going through a lot," a statement made even more impactful by the emotional tone of his voice. However, Mufasa said he refuses to dwell on the negative aspects of the event and instead looks forward with hope and anticipation to another defining moment in history.
