Cassper Nyovest has shed light on how his rivalry with the late rapper AKA started.

For almost 10 years, Cassper and AKA dominated South African hip-hop and would often make headlines through diss songs, jabs, and public confrontations.

During the L-Tido Podcast, Cassper Nyovest described how the beef started between the two.

The 32-year-old award-winning rapper claimed that the beef started over his hit song ‘Gusheshe’. Nyovest said he initially wanted Okmalumkoolkat to feature on the track(Gusheshe), but AKA liked the song and insisted on adding a third verse which Cassper denied.

“I feel like, he kinda felt like I was saying yoh I don’t need you cause I also said like I wouldn’t want you to be on my first hit,” Nyovest revealed during the L-Tido Podcast.

“From there it got a bit sour, but I was like let me make another song for you, we have three songs together me and Kiernan so I was trying to make another Gusheshe for his project but he never used any of them,” he said.

Cassper also touched on AKA’s hit ‘Composure’, which was seen as a diss song directed at him. The track intensified their longstanding beef which ultimately led to a confrontation late last year.

“That song gave me sleepless nights, whenever I hear the beat, I would be like damn. I even started enjoying this song or something. I used to like that part he’s (AKA) hehe hehe,” Cassper said.

The ‘Gusheshe’ hitmaker also mentioned how he was slapped by the slain rapper. Nyovest claimed AKA approached him at a club and gave him one ‘hot slap’, but he did not retaliate because he had just signed a million rand deal that same day.
