Cassper Nyovest is not taking it likely with trolls attacking him for commenting under the #EndSars protest going on in Nigeria and neglecting that of South Africa.
However, Cassper is not the only South African celeb to support the movement as he is inspired by Nigeria’s unity in fighting but they decide to drag him out instead.
According to tweeps, they felt he had “largely” ignored the South African #PutSouthAfricaFirst movement.
“So inspiring to see what the Nigerians are doing. Fighting for their human rights and not stopping until they are heard. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality”

Cassper who innocently just made the tweet did not know he has stepped on the toes of many as they said he has not shown a similar interest in local movements mobilising for similar socio-economic issues like #PutSouthAfricaFirst.
A tweep directly faced Cassper saying that the celebrities are the ones making what is happening in Nigeria to look really elaborate and not acting like they “breathe flavoured oxygen”.
I always tweet about South African Issues. I see other South African Celebrities speaking out about our issues all the time. We do not have the power your government has to make the change. Yall are sooo obsessed with belittling South African celebrities all day on social media.

According to the tweep, he stated that the rapper has never commented on SA issues but only did so for issues affecting Nigeria.
Reacting to this, Cassper said all he wanted to do was to support the movement and encourage the youths in Nigeria stating the movement #PutSouthAfricaFirst should not be used for hate but to rather uplift the black race regardless of their origins.
The movement #PutSouthAfricaFirst shouldn’t be used to hate anybody else. It should only be used to uplift our own people. Be ware of people who hijack slogans to protray hate and discrimination. You can be proudly South African without being Xenophobic. My 2 cents.

Cassper hit back at the tweep, saying he [the tweep] was so “obsessed” with “belittling” South African celebrities all day on social media after claiming that only the government had the power to make the change.
I made a decision not to argue on twitter about serious matters because the people on twitter don’t care as much as you. They will work you up mad , only for them to tell you that “It’s not that deep fam”.
