Cassper vibes out to AKA’s hit single
JOHANNESBURG - Over the weekend rapper, celebrity boxer and entrepreneur Cassper Nyovest was spotted at the Sandton nightspot, Booth Sandton, playing AKA and KDDO’s hit single, ‘Company’ while DJing.
The ‘Siyathanda’ hitmaker was at the club promoting his alcohol brand, Billiato, and showcasing his taste in music with an unexpected DJ set of Hip Hop and Amapiano.
Nyovest has been showing love to the Supa Mega, who was once his fiercest rival.
‘Company’, which was released a week before AKA’s album, ‘Mass
Country’, came out, has been a fan favourite from the album. Since its release, ‘Company’ has consistently been among the top three most streamed songs across various local digital streaming platforms and also topped the Rams radio monitor chart for four weeks in a row, making it the best charting local song of the year so far.
“I wasn’t expecting to find myself with a smile on my face seeing Cassper Nyovest play AKA ‘s song ‘Company’,’’ one fan tweeted. AKA’s co-Manager, Nhlanhla ‘Nivo’ Ndimande, recently explained that ‘Company’ was the last song recorded on the project and that the beat was produced by KDDO and sent to AKA years ago before they stumbled on it again earlier in the year.
KDDO, who AKA previously collaborated with on his hit single ‘Fela In Versace’, joined AKA in Los Angeles in January to work on finishing the song as they rushed to wrap up the album.
On Monday morning, AKA’s team announced that the album’s lead single, ‘Lemons (Lemonade)’ had just hit five million views on YouTube. It’s AKA’s fifth video to hit that mark following ‘Jika’, ‘Fela In Versace’, ‘Caiphus Song’ and ‘The World Is Yours’.
