Cape Town – South African rap heavyweight Cassper Nyovest performed the song Monate Mpolaye at his friend DJ Sumbody’s funeral service on Saturday.
The song was a collaboration with Sumbody, Thebe and Vettis.

“You could be brutally honest with him and he wouldn’t take offence. No matter how much you fought with him, he wouldn’t change how much he loved you. I’m going to miss you, I love you,” said Cassper.
