IF THERE is one rapper who constantly finds himself under scrutiny, it is Cassper Nyovest.
Throughout his career, Nyovest has been criticised for almost everything, from his music and fashion choices to his social media posts and physical appearance.
Whatever he does, it seems there is always someone ready to comment. However, no matter how much criticism he faces, he never stays down for long. When he finds it necessary, he claps back, but most times, he simply keeps moving.
Speaking on You FM, Nyovest was asked what keeps him going despite the constant negativity.
“You have to go on, he said. “I think everyone wants a soft life. We all want peace. The only peace I have is in Christ, because through all the noise and commotion, there’s one thing I know that never changes, and that’s Christ.”
