Before AKA’s passing, another South African rapper, Cassper Nyovest, tweeted a message that has sparked a lot of discussion on social media. In his tweet, Cassper wrote, “All things work together for good.” The message received a mixed reaction from the South African public, with Cassper trending on Twitter as a result.

Some Twitter users felt that the tweet was inappropriate considering the news of AKA’s death, while others came to Cassper’s defense, saying that he was constantly bullied and blamed for other rapper’s deaths. One Twitter user even wrote, “Lord please protect @casspernyovest at all times. I’m also asking you to be his best friend and guide him at all times. Amen.”

AKA and Cassper’s relationship was well-known in the South African music scene, with the two rappers having a long-standing feud that dated back to 2014. It all started with a now-deleted tweet from Cassper in which he claimed that his song “Doc Shebeleza” was the biggest on iTunes, not Zippyshare, in a jab at AKA. AKA responded by sharing his own sentiments, as his song “Congratulate” was also in the top 100 charts on iTunes at the time. Since then, the two rappers did not see eye-to-eye.
