Cassper Nyovest responds to fan’s call to address Musk and Trump’s alleged attack on South Africa
Cassper Nyovest has found himself at the center of an online debate after responding to a fan who questioned his silence on claims that Elon Musk and Donald Trump were attacking South Africa.
The fan tweeted, “Elon and Trump are attacking SA, and you are silent on that.”
In response, Cassper dismissed the idea that he had any power to intervene, saying, “Dawg, what is Refiloe Phoolo gonna do to a WHOLE ELON MUSK AND DONALD TRUMP? I am currently replying to you on a platform that is owned by ELON. Bra yaka emanyana!!”

His response quickly went viral, sparking a mix of reactions from social media users.
Many brought up the late rapper AKA, suggesting he was more vocal about national issues than Cassper.
Others defended him, arguing that musicians are not obligated to comment on political affairs, while some insisted that influential figures should use their platforms to speak on pressing matters.
The controversy comes amid growing discussions about Musk and Trump’s reported stance on South Africa.
Musk has recently made comments about the country’s land reform policies, which led to a response from President Cyril Ramaphosa dismissing his claims.
Meanwhile, Trump’s recent decision to halt aid to South Africa has also stirred tensions.
While many South Africans are engaging in debates about these developments, Cassper has made it clear that he won’t be joining the conversation
