On 28 June 2026, an inquisitive fan took to social media to ask the Doc Shebeleza hitmaker why he hadn't travelled to the tournament to show his support in person. The rapper responded by revealing that unforeseen visa complications completely derailed his travel plans at the final hurdle.

"My Visa expired a month before travel, and I didn’t notice till it was too late. I tried to apply for another visa, but I only received it today. Meaning I couldn’t travel, and I missed out. Woulda been soo sick to be out there."

The Visa complications were a tough pill to swallow for Cassper, who has frequently shared his deep love for soccer on social media, most recently silencing the critics following Bafana's historical win against South Korea. He noted that he would have loved nothing more than to watch the national team make history on the world stage. Fortunately for the team, the rest of the country is in full solidarity.
