South African rapper and record producer, Tweezy, has shared a story of how late American rapper, Pop Smoke, inspired the creation of Cassper Nyovest’s recently-released single ‘Amademoni.’
South African hip hop was shaken with a new hit from no other than the multi-award-winning rapper, Cassper Nyovest, featuring rapper and producer, Tweezy.
The brand new single has been praised by lovers of hip hop and is currently trending on streets and airwaves. Tweezy has decided to relate to his fans about the new single and what inspired the creation.
When the hit single ‘Amademoni’ was released, several people quickly assumed that the rappers had sampled some songs, which include that of Pop Smoke. The rappers have admitted that Pop Smoke actually inspired the creation of the song. However, they did not sample Pop’s music. ‘Amademoni’ is more like a tribute to the late rapper.

No we did not “Bite” Pop Smoke’s Dior or any other joint. No we didn’t hear anyone’s song previously released and get inspired to replicate that. We just executed our own idea very well…& the result is a smash hit tribute to Pop Smoke for inspiring us.
The popular record producer also revealed what gave out the idea of the hit single. A part of Tweezy’s thread read:
As a great fan of the UK Drill and Chicago drill sound, I made this beat as a tribute to him in a “The return of the GOAT” series of my beat snippets.

So as everyone knows, Pop Smoke passed away in Feb this year (RIP). As a great fan of the UK Drill and Chicago drill sound, I made this beat as a tribute to him in a “The return of the GOAT” series of my beat snippets. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/7v9fUtDRo3

Suddenly I had a brainwave 💡 Acknowledging Pop Smoke’s signature dance move, I imagined that ‘Siyawanyathela’ song as a concept for a South African type of drill. The dance move supported the phrase. I got inspired to record the hook as you guys know it pic.twitter.com/tbccQaUkps

I pause the song and sit in the living room to watch tv for a while. Cassper’s good for that comes on and right after he does the Pop Smoke dance…Another Brainwave! I’ve found the artist! 🔥Sent Cass the demo and he sent a complete song in a few hours😤 pic.twitter.com/Npx5XtAzjS

So, to conclude…No we did not “Bite” Pop Smoke’s Dior or any other joint. 💀No we didn’t hear anyone’s song previously released and get inspired to replicate that. 😂 We just executed our own idea very well…& the result is a smash hit tribute to Pop Smoke for inspiring us.
