CASSPER NYOVEST PAYS TRIBUTE TO AKA
To honour his rival, Cassper penned the song Candlelight, where he reminisces about his interactions with AKA. He also expresses his sorrow at the untimely death of the rapper who was also affectionately known as Supa Mega.

“This time is for the legacy. I don’t do it just to do it, this is therapy. And if this sh*t don’t exist then we develop it. And when I heard it I was just as hurt as the Megacy, uh.

“Man, our battle was the highlight. I was confused when you came and gave me high fives. A very important featurе in my life. And you still shining, yeah, we see you in thе starlights, yeah,” raps Cassper.

Cassper also talks about visiting the Forbes to convey his condolences after AKA’s passing and also jokes that his father, Tony Forbes, may just be cooler than the late rapper.

In July this year, Tony shared an image of him and Cassper, subsequently thanking him for the support.

REGRETS AND MUSIC
During his interview on The Episode podcast in July, Cassper opened up about the impact of his AKA’s passing on him, regrets concerning their beef and them working making music together.

Asked about their beef and if he had any regrets, Cassper responded that he does, however, he acknowledges that they were both living in the moment.

The After 10 rapper shared that he had hoped him and AKA would get into a boxing ring to iron things out once and for all. He also shared that they have unreleased music together.

“I thought we were going to get into the boxing ring and handle it there. I thought after that we would be OK and make music. Well, we do have music together that people have never heard. We made a few records together
