Cassper Responds To Mac G’s Claims That He’s “Washed”

Cassper Responds To Mac G’s Claims That He’s “Washed.” On February 22, 2025, the Mahindra Fusion Fest at the SunBet Arena in Time Square, Pretoria, set the stage for a night of unforgettable performances by high-profile artists such as Mi Casa, K.O, Kamo Mphela, and Young Stunna.

Amongst the star-studded lineup, Cassper Nyovest took the spotlight, but his performance later became the subject of heated discussion, courtesy of Mac G.

The well-known podcast host made waves with his remarks following the event, claiming that Cassper’s performance was “washed” and lacked the same energy he once brought to the stage. Mac G’s comments likened Cassper to a football player nearing the end of their career, drawing parallels with Casemiro, stating, “He (Cassper) needs to leave the mic before the mic leaves him.”

The podcast host went on to describe Cassper’s performance at Mahindra Fusion Fest as self-centred, noting that, unlike other performers who brought their collaborators on stage for the final songs, Cassper appeared to give clear instructions that it was his show alone.

Mac G also pointed out the audience’s reaction, noting that while fans seemed to enjoy Cassper’s classic hits, the crowd began to thin out during the performance of his latest single, Kusho Bani. “People started leaving, I kid you not,” Mac G remarked, suggesting that the response to Cassper’s newer music was less than favourable.

Cassper, however, was quick to respond in his own subtle yet assertive way. The rapper took to social media to address the criticism, sharing a video from his performance at the Mahindra Fusion Fest. In his post, he acknowledged Mac G’s critique, stating, “Mac G was right. Watch the crowd leaving the arena as Cassper Nyovest performs his new single ‘Kusho Bani.'” The video appeared to challenge Mac G’s claims, showing fans still engaged and vibing to the performance, implying that the crowd’s reaction was not as negative as suggested.

As the conversation continues to unfold surrounding Cassper’s Kusho Bani one thing remains clear: the rapper is never far from the spotlight, whether it’s for his chart-topping hits or the scrutiny that often follows them.
