Cassper Nyovest has weighed in on the ongoing dominance of Amapiano in the country’s music scene, while urging fans to also show love to artists producing other genres. His remarks came during the promotion of a new single titled “Sondela” by Khosie x Issue, featuring Cassper Nyovest and the award-winning band MiCasa. The song was released last month and has been gradually gaining traction on various streaming platforms.
In a recent video shared on social media, Cassper enthusiastically encouraged his followers to support the track. “Please don’t sleep on that song, don’t sleep on that song just like I told you guys not to sleep on ‘Aweh’ by the beautiful talented Lordkez,” he said. The rapper emphasized that “Sondela” deserves the same attention and support given to other trending sounds, adding, “I’m telling you, don’t sleep on Khosie x Issue. This song is called ‘Sondela’, please go check it out, please go stream it.”
While praising the growing success of Amapiano, Cassper used the moment to highlight the need for balance within South Africa’s evolving music industry. “We are offering an alternative to everything that’s going on. Piano is the biggest, the most strongest, you know what I mean, but there’s a space for other sounds, other genres, other artists,” he said. His comments reflected his belief that while Amapiano remains a global force, artists working in hip-hop, R&B, soul, and other styles also need the public’s attention and support.
A post shared by Refiloe Phoolo (@casspernyovest) Amapiano continues to dominate charts both locally and internationally, with artists such as Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, and Tyler ICU leading the wave. Despite this, Cassper’s call serves as a reminder that South Africa’s creative scene thrives on variety and that supporting artists across different genres strengthens the entire musical ecosystem.
As “Sondela” continues to circulate online and on radio, Cassper’s message resonates as both a promotional push and a broader appeal for inclusivity in music consumption. His words underline the importance of unity within the entertainment space encouraging fans to embrace all sounds that define the richness of South African music.
