In a candid interview on Chopping It With Bhuda T, rapper Flvme opened up about the behind-the-scenes journey of creating AKA’s hit “Casino.” What fans may not know is that the song took almost a full year to complete, just for Flvme’s hook alone. “We had a fight at some point about it,” he shared, recalling how he reworked the last bar more than 20 times before AKA finally approved it. The breakthrough came months later when a single phone call between the two artists turned creative tension into one of their most memorable collaborations.
BENZA has publicly responded to claims made by Cassper Nyovest regarding the origins of AKA’s song Sim Dope. In a direct reply shared via social media, the Vth Season executive stated, “Okay, I will correct you. You are wrong… The only thing I can confirm is that you were almost signed by BENZA.” Benza’s statement comes after Cassper, in an episode of The L-Tido Podcast, suggested that Sim Dope sounded like a track he had nearly released on his debut album, a version of what later became Tito Mboweni. Benza, however, dismissed any suggestion of overlap, instead highlighting the individuality and impact of both artists on the South African music scene. “You guys are two different types of artists. SA did best by having you two around at the Same Damn Time. We all benefited,” Benza added.
