A Twitter user with eh name Nkululeko Manyisa criticized Cassper for the performance, noting that the songster always makes things about him. The statement irritated Cass, who decided to set the record straight, clarifying that the family of the late DJ asked that the song be performed at the funeral and memorial as a tribute to the late musician. And he agreed to that out of respect for the family.
But then, of course, people will always talk. You can check out the post below.
