Cape Town – South African rapper Cassper Nyovest recently caught a lot of heat for his tweets claiming that he is struggling financially.
Following the budget speech this week by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, Nyovest took to Twitter to vent his struggles, saying that having “celebrity status” does not mean you’re rich and are not going through financial hardships.
“People are going through a lot financially. Ha gona zaka jo. It’s bad! Nobody has money. What’s going on Shap Shap??? Why is it so tight?” he tweeted.
