Rap mogul Cassper Nyovest has been dragged on social media by some of his colleagues after he claims the only thing black people enjoy to do is to pull each other down.
Cassper was abroad last week where he was motivated to speak his mind. The rapper said in a tweet, “I travel the world. I’m blessed enough to sit in first class&business lounges&I often find myself being the only black person there. The 400 years of slavey thing just hit me now. We are sooo behind & the only thing we are extremely good at for now is pulling each other down.”

The tweet immediately caught the attention of many with singer Simphiwe Dana telling Cassper to put an end to his famous clap backs. “Babe, you need to stop. You’re one of the most loved artists in SA. This doesn’t make sense coming from you. Ignore the hate and focus on the love,”

“I also get frustrated. People can come at you sideways especially on social media. The black community is wounded. Everywhere you go. I just don’t like him alienating his fans. I admire his success,” she added.
Afternoon Express presenter Bonnie Mbuli alleges that the only reason Cassper was able to make that trip is because of the support of black people
I feel like true success must humble us, maybe I’m wrong ??♀️,I want the kind of success I’m scared to even brag about. https://t.co/UwZOVvuZb6

Some of his fans also put out their disgust on the matter
I am a Proud Tsibipian but that tweet Cassper made about blacks pulling each other down pretty much hurt/disappointed me simply because I've saved and I am ready for Durban and he's out here like that.

Well I suppose all those that have supported this guy and helped him elevate have been pulling him down. Dome and stadium FillUp was blacks pulling him down, fans buying his music, fans going to shows have been pulling him down. "Please tell us someone hacked you phone Cassper" https://t.co/DiXpJlxWC6

Ai, Cassper, you're an awesome rapper and you're doing great things for yourself. But how do you weigh millions of us that supported you to a few individuals that did you bad? If all we were capable of doing is pulling you down do you honestly think u would be where u are today?
