Cassper goes viral

The start of a feud that got South Africans aroused


We have noticed how the media industry grasps at the latest and current news as soon as they hit the social pages, Cassper Nyovest has been using that to his advantage to create a larger fanbase for his image by creating a stir between another local artist AKA.

These artists have used a feud against each other as a gymick to win over fans. Their target audience got intrigued over the whole thing that they followed both artists on social networks just to find out whats going to happen next.

Peace made, more hits done 

After the artists made peace, Cassper and AKA collaborated on countless hits making them bankable hip hop stars as Phil Mphela local influencer has mentioned in his blog.
Clearly shows that one does not have to become a journalist to post anything on social media. Like a video made by cassper dancing did not need a whole film crew yet it went viral and was the talk of all talks.

So whats next for the local star?

Cassper was made the official brand ambassador for Ray ban, The hip hop star tweeted the news on the 26 of June 2014,  his appearance to media and always being able to expose himself to public made Ray Ban want him on their side... and they got him.

The golden boy

After Cassper's debut album hit gold and cause of his deal with ray ban he turned his hair (including facial hair) blonde just to show the world that he is the new golden boy and we must admit... its an interesting look.

Can we expect more from Cassper?

I personally can never know what can possibly be the next trick under Cassper's sleeves, just like how the public never expected him to kiss his new bae (girlfriend) Amanda Du  Pont at the metro awards on stage, clearly showing that theres never a dull moment when you follow the star.

Out with the old and in with the new!!

The new generation needs no journalist to publish a story, we are the digital age, everything we need from current news or sassy gossip is right under our finger tips in just a second, traditional media is not as effective as it was before therefore a public relations practitioner can easily steer you in the right direction to build up publicity.

  1. What I would like to know what started the beef between casper and AKA and secondly is the article about casper or the fact that you don't have to be a professional in order write an article cos if its so I do not agree with that point

    1. It all started after the channel O awards last year when AKA tweeted about how he wiped the floor with Cassper when they were both nominated and AKA won and to answer your second question, the article is about how easily someone (e.g Cassper) can be exposed with just social media without the expertise of a journalist

  2. I honestly think the beef between Cassper Nyovest and AKA was a publicity stunt. I say this because Casspers PR manager Farah Fortune is good friends with AKA. The so called beef was staged to make Caspper Nyovest relevant to create hype and attention which it ultimately did . Everything Cassper does is just so attention seeking eg the hair, him kissing Amanda whooo Cassper oh Cassper.

    1. Yes it was indeed a stunt as I mentioned, but we must admit that his PR manager did a good job as Cassper got the attention they seeked from the public, creating hype around his brand and luring people to always knowing what Cassper is doing and letting his name always be the latest gossip just to build up his image
