Toya Delazy claims she was instrumental to Cassper Nyovest’s mainstream breakthrough and success.
Cassper Nyovest is one of the biggest Hip Hop acts in South Africa and the continent. He has dropped hits that have earned him a massive rep as one of the most iconic rappers of all time. In recently shared tweets, Toya Delazy claimed she was instrumental to his success.
She revealed that their song “My City” helped achieve that. According to her, her team organized Cassper’s first flight to Cape Town where they recorded the song. But she claims that her role in his rise does not get mentioned enough due to a gender bias.
“No if it wasn’t for My City – the transition to mainstream wouldn’t have happened that easily, we got cassper his first flight in his life to CPT to record with us, lots of us put in for him to be where it is but because we women it’s overlooked – that collab went to be the biggest and not once did he remember me when sh*t was popping bruh, every single.”
She continued,
“Fill up they were singing my song at the stadiums, when we were available and in the country – that shot hurt my career a lot – as a youngling that shit broke me – took me years to recover. Actually worst experience sadly, wish . wish i had a different story.”
