Not Cassper Nyovest being dragged over his song Doc Shebeleza, the haters truly don't rest. The rapper is being accused of jacking iFani's flow from his hit song, Milli, and the claims sparked a rather heated debate online.
Cassper Nyovest accused of copying iFani
Cassper Nyovest is catching smoke after netizens accused him of stealing iFani's flow.
Twitter (X) user saanda__ suggested that Mufasa copied iFani's cadence on Milli from 2013, for his hit song, Doc Shebeleza, which was released the following year.
In the original track, iFani rapped comically about wanting to "Make a milli" and what being a millionaire would do for him.
Meanwhile, Cassper bragged about his come-up while comparing himself to Doc Shebeleza. Toward the end, he rapped about wanting to marry Minnie Dlamini, but first needing to make a "milli" (million rands) - a nod to iFani.
As one of Mufasa's first hits, the song not only paid homage to the legendary Kwaito star, Doc Shebeleza, but Cassper also showed respect to iFani, who featured in the song's music video where the interpolation occurs.
This was before the rappers' feud, which iFani hopes to squash one day.
Speaking to Briefly News, the Ewe hitmaker said the claims were bogus and discussed how Cassper returned the favour:
"He didn’t steal the flow; he borrowed it, and I gave it to him. That’s why I’m in the Doc Shebeleza video; that’s a receipt; that’s my approval stamp. It's me saying, 'No Worries, it wasn’t stolen, it was borrowed, and he’ll return it one day.' And, oh, he did!
"Bless that man! He returned it with R50 000, which I used to donate to Wits University during the Fees Must Fall campaign. We took a picture, which was his receipt to say, 'I returned the flow from Milli with R50k.' Win-win and win for Wits students."
