Cassper Amplifies DJ Maphorisa’s Call For Unity In SA Hip-Hop. South African hip-hop is taking a moment to reflect as the music scene shifts and evolves like the Johannesburg skyline at sunset. The conversation gained momentum after DJ Maphorisa called out the divisive “camp camp” circles that have splintered the genre.
Now, award-winning rapper Cassper Nyovest has stepped into the spotlight with a message that combines defiance with wisdom. He addresses past criticisms while emphasising that collective growth must come before individual egos.
Maphorisa, the prolific producer behind countless hits, sparked the discussion earlier this week by pointing to the lack of collaboration in SA hip-hop. “SA hip-hop guys need to work together, this camp camp thing is not working,” he tweeted, underlining how tribalism among artists has limited the genre’s potential and allowed others, like amapiano, to dominate charts and stages. He stressed that unity is essential to restoring the days when hip-hop ruled the airwaves and brought communities together.
Nyovest, whose career has been marked by resilience—from selling out stadiums to navigating industry beefs—responded with a post blending humour, triumph, and tough love. Amplifying Phori’s sentiments, Cassper recalled the criticisms he faced five years ago for saying the same thing. “I said this 5 years ago, but niggas said im tryna use them to revive my career. Funny enough, IM STILL HERE EATING!!! Broer need to let go of the ego and build. Yall doing okay but that’s not enough,” Cassper said.
The message is classic Cassper: unapologetic and forward-looking. By saying he is “still here eating,” Nyovest shuts down naysayers who accused him of leveraging collaborations for personal gain and underscores his enduring success.
He pivots to the bigger picture, urging his peers to shed ego and focus on building a stronger community. In a genre born from storytelling and solidarity, he reminds everyone that simply “doing okay” is no longer sufficient as hip-hop fights to reclaim its cultural throne.
