Cassper Nyovest has collaborated with Drip Sneakers for his very own #RF990 sneakers which are inspired by his birth year. He and Drip Footwear CEO and Founder, Lekau, signed a R100 million deal. A few weeks ago when he launched them he started off with the colour pink and then teased a few other colours.

Although some like the sneakers, many are just dissatisfied. The fact that they look like previously released sneakers and also retail at a higher price than the others, angers social media users.

"Cassper is killing that Drip brand. He hijacked a well established brand and made it about him, while his sneaker quality is an insult to the consumer. We must stop sugar coating, black business must sell quality and not blackmail us with "black owned" term," said a tweep.
Prince Kaybee came to his defense saying starting a whole different shoe from scratch is costly so Cassper does not have enough funds to start one. He also threw shade at him and called him Sasko Sam, from the bread logo.
Prince Kaybee gave Cassper a new name "Sasko Sam"😫😫😭😂😂

"Just want to defend Sasko Sam here for once, starting and designing your own shoe from scratch is Expensive, he doesn’t have the money to do that so best bet is get a Chinese existing design, put a tree and sell to Dome Fill Ups, commercial business principal," he mocked.

Another interview which premiered yesterday, Cassper sat down with Da LES and , where he spoke about his beef with Prince Kaybee.
Defending himself, Prince said why is it a problem when he speaks but when Cassper does people do not see a problem with that.
"Sasko Sam is on an interview right now as we speak saying the same joke of how I’ve never sold a thousand tickets, like he wakes up and goes to interviews and speaks about me, I’ve seen two interviews already, when I respond its obsession, how?"
Wait, how?? Sasko Sam is on an interview run as we speak saying the same joke of how I’ve never sold a thousand tickets, like he wakes up and goes to interviews and speaks about me, I’ve seen two interviews already, when I respond its obsession, how? https://t.co/zmXWGhtqJU

Cassper reckons the reason many artists hate him, including Prince Kaybee is because of his longevity. "The Love South Africa has given me is overwhelming. Unheard of if you ask me. Usually artists can't go over 3 albums before they either fall off or the media trash their name. My fans have carried me from strength to strength. That's why a lot of artists envy me."
