The age-old feud between AKA and Cassper Nyovest was revived after an old post by the late rapper surfaced on social media.
Over two years since his assassination, the Congratulate hitmaker's X posts continue to stand the test of time. And on 13 December 2025, a user by the handle @yungv3t posted a tweet by the rapper criticising his rival.
At the height of their beef in 2015, the men attended the South African Hip Hop Awards, where instead of finally squaring off, Cassper decided to play it cool and ignore the drama. Unfortunately for him, AKA was ready for the smoke.
Sitting just a couple of rows from each other, tensions were high, and AKA, who sat behind his rival, was not afraid to flash a photo of Mufasa to criticise him on X.
"They talk about you all year, then can't say a word to you when they are two seats away."
Not only that, but the late rapper could also be seen in several leaked videos hurling insults at Cassper and challenging him to confront him.
Still, though it all, the Gusheshe hitmaker kept a level head and focused on the event, which later awarded him and his rival for their contributions to the local hip hop industry.

Although the rivalry between the hip hop powerhouses persisted until AKA's death, it did more than just enhance the competitiveness of South African hip hop; it also inspired several diss tracks, including AKA's Composure. In 2022, Supa Mega challenged Mufasa again at an event, where he performed the song to him and raised questions about whether Cassper would retaliate.
Reacting to the unearthed photo, online users admired AKA's boldness while debating over the men's feud.
