Cassper Nyovest Opens Up About Delayed Response to AKA’s Death

The feud between the two which began in 2014 and continued for several years captivated the music industry and fans, creating a divide within the local music scene.
Their diss tracks, such as Cassper’s “Dust 2 Dust” and AKA’s “Composure,” which was filled with personal insults, showcased their lyrical prowess but also intensified the animosity between them.
