Cassper Nyovest was still riding high on the success of his historic #FillUpTheDome milestone when things went from zero to 360 this week.
The Mama I Made It rapper produced one too many tantrums, and Mr Humble was left licking his wounds after Black Twitter told him to take several seats.
Cassper was trending on Friday morning after Vuzu Entertainment played an interview they conducted with the rapper at the SA Hip Hop awards.
The 24-year-old was not impressed that he won the Milestone Of The Year award together with his nemesis AKA, and he let everyone know how he felt.
“It was bullsh*t. They made a platinum selling album win with a gold selling album, then everyone who went gold should have won. I sold out The Dome, man, that’s a milestone, that’s a real milestone. People expect me, because I am humble, I should not voice my opinion. I am just tired of the bullsh*t of this f*cking industry, of people acting like you ain’t doing sh*t. I work hard…,” he said. As if that was not dramatic enough, Cassper walked away and threw his award on the floor!
Cassper was like…

You would think that after reportedly getting booed off stage for complaining that a platinum and gold album can’t be compared, he would have kept his composure (see what we did there).
AKA, whose beef with Cassper made headlines all year, was quick to add his two cents after the Vuzu clip started trending.
But Super Mega was not the only one throwing shade at Cassper. Music lovers were quick to let the rapper know that he needed to chill.

It didn’t help that on the morning of the awards, Cassper complained that radio stations didn’t want to play his music. He also added that after filling up The Dome, he deserved to be treated like Beyonce in South Africa.

He made the revelations on Bonang Matheba’s show, The Front Row on Metro FM on Wednesday.
“Yo, I just went platinum like yesterday… and I don’t have any singles playing on radio except Mama I Made It, it’s an old song. I just put out 20 songs…”
Hey, Cassper, we gonna let you finish, but AKA released better music in 2015!
The hashtag, “Things Cassper Thinks He Deserves” soon made an appearance on social media, and let’s just say Cassper will need some time to recover from this one.
Cassper, we only have one thing to say: ‘composure, composure, hmmm know yourself.”
