Cassper has defended himself by saying that he wasn't dissing Focalistic. He shared the following on Twitter:

"Wasn't a diss. All I meant was that I was proud to have inspired an artist like him who is flourishing like he is. He said it himself that he was inspired by me so it was nothing new but now sh**'s weird now. He should've responded with a song if he wanted to take it there."

@ntokozo_dla23 added:

"He listened to fans that was his first mistake and he should know better that people always want drama. When artist are all uniting, peacefully working on healthy environment its like as fans we hate it. They set a bait for Foca and he took it."
