In the song, Cassper wears his heart on his sleeve when he speaks about betrayal by a close friend.
Fans got excited when they thought the duo had squashed their beef, but the moment was short-lived after Riky had discovered Cassper is taking a swipe at him on the track “To Whom It May Concern.”
But fans quickly asked the muso if he didn’t think the song was about him.
Below are some of the fans reactions on Twitter:

In a series of tweets, Riky revealed that he has tried to reach out to Cassper to and sort out their differences but his actions proved futile.
When Twitter user Fenny Forbes suggested Riky must mend things with Cassper, he explained that he will keep reaching out to him.
“EISH, the funny thing we’ve spoken privately so dunno where that “explanation” of what happened came from. I'll keep reaching out to him, but I'm also getting tired of my name coming up when I relaxing nicely minding my business. It's like yall want me to put the full story on wax. SMH,” said Riky.

He continued: “Anyone who wants to solve an issue can solve it with one phone call or meeting. I get he wanted to get it off his chest. Shap, we heard you. But are you gonna offer any solutions, are you gonna actually pull up and talk like men are supposed to? My number the same.”
Sibadala. Anyone who wants to solve an issue can solve it with one phone call or meeting. I get he wanted to get it off his chest. Shap, we heard you. But are you gonna offer any solutions, are you gonna actually pull up and talk like men are supposed to? My number the same.

He added, expressing his disappointment at Cassper writing a song about him: “Imagine 2nd track you talking about something that happened 3years ago... Weirdest part is that he was the one who Betrayed Me and my family when We needed HIM the most. Kodwa Eish...maybe Ill tell the story next week. For now, enjoy the album.”

In another post, he spoke about Cassper acting like a victim while he was also at fault.
“What bothers me is Cassper acting like a victim when they know what exactly what did. QHA. “I THOUGH YOU LOVED ME” GTFOH”

A couple of years ago, fans of the duo shocked to learn Riky was added to a growing list of people Cassper has parted ways with including his arch-rivals AKA and Emtee, with whom he was friends with prior.
But fans are still living in the hope that Cassper and Riky will bury the hatchet and become best friends again.
You can hear from the way both gents talk about the situation that whatever went down between Cassper & Riky Rick really hurt both of them. I hope one day the gents will sit down & unpack it with no cameras watching or fans listening and hopefully revive their brotherhood.
