Nigerian rappers are unknown in my country- South Africa rapper Cassper Nyovest claim

Consequent upon M.I’s claim that SA rappers have benched

Naija rappers when it comes to the rap game, SA rapper, Cassper Nyovest has taken sides with M.I Abaga on his view on the
poor state of the Nigerian hip-hop culture.

In a recent interview with Pulse NG, the SA rapper gave
credence to M.I’s words. Though he mentioned that Nigerian rappers might feel
he’s taking shots at them, he still maintained that Naija rappers are unknown
in SA. His words;

“Yes, South African Hip-hop is in the forefront of African
Hip-hop in general. It might not be as popular as it is in South Africa in
Nigeria. But I know for a fact that the rappers from Nigeria are kinda unknown
in SA. If we talk about crossing over, I lots of people in Nigeria know about
my music. I know that in Kenya and Ghana it’s the same thing.”

“I’m not just talking about me, I’m talking about the
movement. Sarkodie is big in Ghana, but are there other rappers who are as big
as Sarkodie from Ghana? The South African Hip-hop movement is big across, also
in London, New York. We are out there performing in different countries. I know
I might offend some people. But that’s just how it is.”
