Cassper Nyovest not convinced he’ll release another album

Cassper Nyovest

South African rap heavyweight Cassper Nyovest shares his thoughts on whether releasing full-length albums still makes sense in today’s music climate.

The rapper spent part of his day engaging directly with fans and critics on the platform, responding to calls for a new project.

One supporter urged him to get back into album mode, writing, “Stop running away cass letha ialbum 🐐.”

Nyovest’s response was honest, and slightly uncertain.

“People don’t listen to albums no more. It’s almost like people want singles and that’s about it. A body of work is a bit hard to digest, I don’t know if cause people are just busy or what. An album? I’d love to Mara I’m not sure.”

His comments quickly divided the timeline.

While some fans understood his point about shrinking attention spans in the streaming era, others felt an artist of his calibre should not shy away from dropping full projects.

One disappointed supporter replied, “Coming from an artist I admire…that’s really something weak to say. You an artist. A artist must always drop music that’s they’re art. Especially albums…don’t go out like this grootman🙏🏿.”

Others took a more nuanced approach, arguing that the issue might not be albums themselves, but their length.

“The problem is not an album, the problem starts when the album is 20+ songs, people don’t have a long attention span,” one user commented.

Another suggested a compromise: “Exactly either you give us a 4 track EP Cass or something, these days it’s hard to listen to an album from the first track to the last.”

The exchange highlights a broader shift in music consumption, where singles, short projects and viral moments often outperform traditional, lengthy albums.

For Nyovest. an artist known for major album rollouts and stadium-filling campaigns, the conversation signals a possible change in strategy as he weighs what fans truly want in 2026.
