Musician Cassper Nyovest has revealed that he will not attend AKA’s memorial service as he will be out of the country to do work.
However, it seems the social fraternity is not entirely impressed with his statement as posted on Twitter and seen by Entertainment SA.
Nyovest says he would have gone to the service if he was around and that it’s just unfortunate that he will be out of the country.
The memorial service of the late fellow rapper, Kiernan Forbes, will be held at the iconic Sandton Convention Centre on Friday.
Taking to his Twitter timeline, Cassper replied to a tweep who asked if he was going to AKA’s memorial service.
“Unfortunately, I’ll be out of the country for work, but if I was around I would’ve gone. I would’ve gone to the funeral too. No matter how you look at it, me and Kiernan shared a lot of great moments together and he contributed to my industry so I have to pay my respects,” he wrote.
Cassper might have been known as AKA’s biggest nemesis in the entertainment industry, but he’s let bygones be bygones with a tribute to the rapper and his close friend Tebello Tibz Motsoane.
Nyovest’s post follows what was also spotted by ESA on Monday as he urged his fans to send their love and support to the fans and the family of AKA.
“My sincere condolences go out to Kiernan and Tebello’s families, colleagues and fans. May their souls rest in peace and their legacies be celebrated. May the good Lord be with all of you at this sad time.”
The rappers shocked tweeps when a clip of them high-fiving each other surfaced on Twitter timelines in 2022 and the duo was part of Big Zulu’s Celebrity Soccer Games.
On top of that, AKA and Cassper formed part of team “hip-hop” at the games that took place in July at the Wits Soccer Stadium in Johannesburg.

“We are mourning as a country and you still going to work, sometimes you need to take things seriously brother your beef wasn’t serious it was just a stunt for both of you to make money, drop that gig and mourn your brother.”

“Cassper has nothing to prove by attending the funeral. He owes no one an explanation. Even if he was in the country. He could choose to mourn in his privacy as well. Stop dictating to people how to mourn or show their affection when someone has passed! Get off Twitter @casspernyovest.”
