Not everyone believes that Cassper Nyovest’s dream to #FillUpTheDome will happen.
The rapper has announced that his one-man show will take place on 31 October at the Dome in Johannesburg. If he pulls it off, Cassper will join international acts like Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and John Legend who have performed in this venue, which has a capacity of 20,000 people.
Does he have what to takes to make this happen? Radio host Anele Mdoda took to Twitter to share her thoughts on Cassper’s dream.
I really hope Cassper can fill up the Dome but that would require him to not gig anywhere for a while right ?

I’m thinking he gets HHP in there as well and also Ricky Rick and they make a night of it. Hosted by a comedian, lights the works.Could work

Thing is you don’t want people to fill up the dome on a lets help him break a record, you wanna fill it up on merit so make it worthwhile.

Last I heard renting out the Dome is in the millions. That’s the biggest hurdle. 🙏🙏🙏

Socialite, Mika Stefano, also jumped in. By the looks of things, he doesn’t really seem to think that Cassper can pull it off.
@LeratoTJ @Anele did Jay Z, John Legend, Chris Brown or Lil Wayne even fill up the dome? 20k. Apparently only 50cent filled it up. GoodLuck

@LeratoTJ @Anele I’d buy a ticket to support the guy. But I’ll skip the concert. As B would say, “I’m a Grown Woman”.

@LeratoTJ @Anele I just pray that when he’s met by harsh reality, he doesn’t cry & say “It’s because no other artists supported him”

@Anele @LeratoTJ John also had huge media partners. Who does Cassper have? Boity’s timeline? GTFOH

@Anele @LeratoTJ hahaha. Nah. I applaud him for being so brave. But let’s try sell out Taboo or Bassline first. Small steps.

Ouch! That’s a bit harsh. However, Cassper doesn’t seem too bothered by this. In fact, he seems more determined than ever to make his dream a reality.
I love taking on challenges and setting goals that make people mock me and tell me how much of a big dreamer I am. Watch me #FillUpTheDome

We’re behind you, Cassper. We can’t wait to be there when you #FillUpTheDome.
