Cassper Nyovest questions Travis Scott’s reported 75K ticket sales
Cassper Nyovest throws shade at Travis Scott’s SA concert numbers
South African rapper Cassper Nyovest has weighed in on the buzz surrounding Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus concert at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium.
The American superstar made headlines for allegedly selling 75,000 tickets; a record-breaking figure that sparked debate online.
In a video shared on Instagram after his workout session, Cassper questioned the accuracy of the reported numbers, pointing out inconsistencies in the figures circulating online.
“I am seeing the headlines about Travis Scott being the biggest solo concert in South Africa. Apparently, they sold 75K tickets. They said 60K, but now it is 75K. I also see the conversation around me having 68K people, and that actually being the biggest rap concert in Africa,” he said.
While expressing doubt about the numbers, the Mama I Made It hitmaker also reflected on his own legacy, crediting God for allowing South African artists to be part of such major conversations.
“I am just glad we could push the envelope to a point that we are in the conversation in our land. How crazy this is; how far we have come. I can only give the glory to God for that.”
Cassper went on to remind fans of his upcoming Fill Up Toyota Stadium show in Bloemfontein, set for 6 December 2025, and took a jab at the perception that international acts are always superior to local talent.
“Your local champion, as you guys call me, because, clearly, the Americans are better than us, in your mind. We are out in Bloemfontein doing Fill Up Toyota Stadium. I am very excited about this.”
The rapper, who has been on a fitness journey after being body-shamed earlier this year, ended his video on a high note, promising fans a next-level experience.
“I am working out right now, getting in shape, making sure I am ready for that because I intend to take it to another level again. Your local champion signing out.”
