Personal Life

Cassper Nyovest whose real name is Relfioe Maele Phoolo was born on 16 December 1990 in Mahikeng, North West Province, South Africa.

He studied at Sol Plaatjie Secondary School where he participated in athletics amongst other sporting activities. Cassper Nyovest’s biography indicates that he started rapping in 2002 at the tender age of 12.

At the age of 13, Cassper formed a hip-hop group, Childhood Gangsta, with his friends. After he left this group, he joined another eight-member group called Slow Motion which included record producer Aashish Gangaram of Ganja Beatz.

In 2006, he failed his Grade 10 exams and decided to drop out of high school in 2007 at the age of 16 to pursue music full time. He went on to sign with Motswako record label Impact Sounds.

A year later, the relationship between Nyovest and Impact Sounds soured because of creative differences.

Cassper Nyovest vs Patrick Shai

Cassper Nyovest is fed up with strangers dragging his family into their personal rifts with him. The latest episode involved the late actor Patrick Shaai who described his mother using unprintable words.
