Cassper Nyovest opens up about filling up FNB stadium
The 28-year-old musician held a concert at the stadium on Saturday.
JOHANNESBURG - Cassper Nyovest says he knew it would be hard to fill up FNB Stadium but never thought it would be impossible.
The 28-year-old, whose real name is Refiloe Phoolo, held a concert at the stadium on Saturday.
At least 68,000 tickets were sold, making him the first South African hip-hop artists to ever receive such a turnout.
He says: “I think as South Africans we grew up in a system thinking we were second best and not worthy. The reason I do these shows is to change the mind of an African kid.”

In 2015 his first “fill up” event at the Ticketpro Dome was a huge success, but this one drew triple the number of fans.
Several celebrities and fans have congratulated the rapper on social media.
Well done to this guy @CassperNyovest - Changing mindsets, propelling culture and inspiring greatness. Continue living 🇿🇦

If this man’s tenacity and unlimited thinking doesn’t motivate you to push yourself beyond the ordinary then you’re your own growth’s biggest enemy #FIllUpFNBStadium @CassperNyovest 💯 pic.twitter.com/5zsnhdHXgQ
