Cassper Nyovest congratulated Nasty C and Babes Wodumo following the BET International Act Africa nominations.
Cassper who gave a killer performance at the One Africa Music Festival in London, this weekend, took to social media, to announce that he is "rooting" for multiple award winner Nasty C and Queen of Gqom music Babes Wodumo.
"Congrats to @Nasty_CSA for the nomination . Y'all know @BABESWODUMO is my favorite SA act so it's all love!!! Rooting for y'all!! #BETAwards." he tweeted.
While he was in London, Cassper made a stop at BBC Radio 1Xtra studios for an interview with DJ Edu – where he revealed that his latest album Thuto went gold within 24 hours of its release.
Congratulations Abut Fill Up!
"Because of the units the album sold out within hours and they made an order that day. So, we actually went gold on the first day," he said.
AKA, Babes, Nasty C get #BETAwards17 nod
The Tito Mboweni hitmaker further explained hat he didn't want to say anything until the album went platinum.

"Right now I'm just trying to go platinum," he added.
It’s no secret that the Tito Mboweni hitmaker and Supa Mega are not besties but fans wonder why he didn't mention his old time rival since they have reconciled, or not?
