Cassper Nyovest Accused of Being a ‘Fake Christian’, Fans React: “AKA Was Right”

• South African rap superstar Cassper Nyovest was accused of being a fake Christian
• This came after the rapper sang a gospel song at his Fill Up Toyota Stadium show in Bloemfontein
• Netizens were divided over the accusation, with some agreeing while others disagreed

After months of intense anticipation, South African rap mogul Cassper Nyovest finally delivered his highly publicised and anticipated Fill Up Toyota Stadium concert.

But Cassper's success did not come without a dose of online hate from naysayers.

An X user posted a clip of the rapper singing a gospel song containing the lyrics "Jesus is the Alpha and Omega," and the timeline was immediately set ablaze.

Since coming out as a born again Christian and referencing God in his art, the rap titan has always faced backlash.

The user captioned the video: "Y’all were right, Cassper Nyovest is doing performative Christianity stuff. His fans will call you a hater for being this honest."

Fans share their divided opinions

The post attracted a stream of replies, with many agreeing with the original post and some coming to Mufasa's defence.

One user, @Nokbonga_S, took to the comments:

"Only dumb people don’t see anything wrong with this."

The post owner, @Lord_Ori_, replied:

"Cass followers are dumb, I guess."

Another one, @maphatsoesenyan, admitted to the hate, commenting:

"I never liked him and I don't think I ever will."

@Lord_Ori_ replied again, posting a GIF of a laughing Vladimir Putin.

Another naysayer, @CrossCountryOp, criticised Cass, writing:

"And then captioned his IG post 'I know a lot of people were saved.' 👀"

@Lord_Ori_ kept on replying, seemingly ensuring that the post's engagement was alive for monetisation purposes. He rendered laughing emojis in response.

@BhunuMM joined the naysaying train, posting:

"What in the Moses is this?"

The comment referenced the biblical Moses, God's messenger, but sought to disparage Cassper being a "Moses" of sorts.

Cassper Nyovest crowns her queen

With Cassper still filling up stadiums a decade after he first came onto Mzansi's entertainment scene, one would think the title of the monarch of SA entertainment would rightly belong to him. But even he has someone else in mind.

Briefly News previously reported that Cassper chose a relatively newer singer as the best in artist in Mzansi entertainment currently, which could be an indication of his actual humility.
