Yesterday, 23-year-old culinary sensation and social media influencer, Luyanda Mafanya hit up rapper Cassper Nyovest for an opportunity to cook for him.
Instead of just agreeing, Nyovest set her a challenge to reach 10,000 tweets before he’d agree to letting her cook for him and his team.
Dam, this food look mad expensive doe…. 10 000 RTs then we’ll do the Dinner… then we’ll speak about the rest after the dinner. Deal? https://t.co/H0Ad1yurXJ

This rubbed many people up the wrong way as they thought this was impossible and the rapper was setting her up to fail.
Don’t be self-absorbed man. Not everything is about ego and twitter. This lady is asking for assistance, if you can’t, just say no. Come now

But the rapper quickly clarified his intentions.
Let me school you a lil bit. If she gets 10 000 Rts she’s exposed to 10 000 people before she even cooks for me. That’s how you give back 😉 https://t.co/owfAv8mu7V

The nay-sayers were quickly silenced when Luyanda topped the 10K RT challenge in less than 24 hours.

Yay Luyanda! You shot your shot and you scored. We can’t wait to see what meteoric heights you’ll reach next.
Don’t knock the power of retweets y’all. It got Rami Chuene a role on the Ferguson Films drama, The Queen.
