Cassper Nyovest reveals the much-anticipated #FillUpFNBStadium date
Independent rapper Cassper Nyovest certainly likes to entertain a large crowd, and this time it’s bigger than ever.
Joining his #FillUpTheDome and #FillUpOrlando series is #FillUpFNBStadium, as he aims to seat 75 000 people in a history-making attempt.
The event will be held on 2 December at; you guessed it, the FNB Stadium-in Johannesburg.
Nyovest announced the date whilst doing an interview on the US hip-hop radio show, The Breakfast Club with DJ Charlamagne:
“We doing FNB Stadium‚ we hoping for over 75 000 people. It’s probably going to be the biggest hip- hop concert in the world. We still working on the lineup. Maybe you should come out and MC [he said to Charlamagne]. It’s going to be an amazing night‚” he said.
He also revealed a bit about the theme of the event, which will be African to the max.
TIA
“I am building a set‚ but I don’t want to mess it up for people but I am Mufasa [Lion King character] basically. We have to take it back to Africa. I’ve done a floating stage‚ last year we had a lot of 3D elements‚ so this time we just want to take it back home. It’s going to be an African-themed‚ the jungle‚ it’s going to be crazy‚” he said.
Nyovest became the first South African hip-hop artists to be featured on Charlamagne’s Breakfast Club show and he held the Saffa flag high as he spoke about his African dream. Charlamagne previously referred to Nyovest as “some guy from Africa” with regards to the allegation that he stole a floating stage idea from Kanye West (which he didn’t) and made a point of getting his name right when he was on the show.
Cassper’s fans defended their champion, showing that South Africans look out for their own.
