Cassper Nyovest Wins Big At South African Hip-Hop Awards 2020
South African Hip-Hop sensation Cassper Nyovest proved that he is the King of Hip-Hop in Mzansi as he scooped three major accolades at the annual South African Hip-Hop Awards (SAHHA).
Cassper Nyovest is currently closing off the year by showcasing that all the negativity he received this year did not matter because the Tsibipians closed off the year big.
The South African Hip-Hop Awards (SAHHA) 2020 was held this past Saturday and Cassper came out victorious in most of the categories that he was nominated in. The rapper took away three nods during the festivities proving that he is the “King of the Jungle.”
Cassper Nyovest Wins Big At South African Hip-Hop Awards 2020
The first award that he won was for the “2020 Best Male” category, which would explain why he won one of the biggest of the awards of the night for ”2020’s Best Album” for “Any Minute Now (A.M.N).” Considering the numbers that the rapper has produced with his return-to-hip-hop album, the win is well deserved. The album is still charting and makes for one of few albums released by a South African artist to maintain the number 1 spot on the Apple hip-hop music charts for four weeks consecutively.
Another award he won was for 2020’s “Song of the Year,” and the award was for his single “Good for That,” featuring Tweezy. The win is monumental considering the type of drags that Cassper received for the song. At the height of the song’s release comparison between him and the late hip-hop artist, Pop Smoke was rife as the rapper was accused of appropriate Pop Smoke’s sound as his own in South Africa.
“I’m in Malawi driving from Blantyre to Lilongwe & we get a call saying we won a few awards including song of the year at the #SAhha2020 . Firstly, to win the best album with my 5th album is a testimony that I am ageing well. To win song of the year says my fans go hard!!! Thank you!!!”
Moreover, Nadia Nakai who is signed under Nyovest’s Family Tree records also bagged the video of the year award courtesy of More Drugs featuring Tshego.
“You ain’t gotta tell me twice, even while I’m winning! They talking… Mxm. I’m so happy I won Music Video of the year but I really wanted that MVP,” wrote Nadia on Twitter account.
