Cassper Nyovest once made a tribute song for kwaito musician, Victor Bogopane aka Doc Shebeleza. A decade later it still remains a banger.
Marking the anniversary of the song, “Doc Shebeleza”, the rapper took to X to post that he made the song when he was a “wild young man”.
“Today marks 10 years of this song. I was a wild young man,” wrote Nyovest.
He went on to say that he plans to make the next decade “more meaningful, spiritual and monumental”.
“God has moulded me and kept me in his grace. All the glory to God. I’m blessed, grateful and truly humbled by your support. The next 10 years will be more meaningful, more spiritual and monumental!!! Die pope sal Daans!!! This gone be special!!!! Wait on it.”

Recently, Nyovest chose to dedicate time to his spiritual journey.
The star explained that his soul was “washed by the blood of Jesus”.
He also posted a video of himself getting baptised via his Instagram Stories.
The born-again Christian was reportedly baptised in an echibini (a cross-designed holy water pool) at St John’s.
One X user, @israelphiri, offered Nyovest some advice as he follows this spiritual path.
“Take your time on this path. Be hidden in Him, and study. Don’t make the mistake most celebs (like Kanye did) to come out and preach before He has worked on you in secret and grown you. The good news is He who began a good work in you is faithful.”
