Vth Season Partners With Cassper After AKA’s Death

It seems that the beef between rappers Cassper Nyovest and Kiernan “AKA” Forbes is continuing even with one of the rappers now six feet under. This is as AKA was confirmed as late in the late hours of Friday, 10 February 2023, after he was gunned down with his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane outside of the Wish restaurant in Durban.

This is as AKA’s fans have continued to hold on to the beef that the two rappers had while AKA was still alive. All of this is despite Cassper making a concerted effort in the month since his arch-nemesis death was confirmed. The latest comes as a result of Cassper revealing his new booking agency. 

AKA in terms of his music worked with Sony Music and the T Effect. However, in terms of his management and content marketing for his music and brand, it is believed that he was working with the independent agency Vth Season.

Hence when the agency took to social media recently to promote Cassper’s upcoming performance in the capital of Uganda, Kampala. It seems that AKA’s fans were in their feelings as the post suggested that Cassper had signed with the agency as a management and booking company. 

As such, AKA’s fans took to social media to call out the agency for what it believed was treacherous behaviour by the agency. It is believed that the agency could have waited a bit longer before deciding on signing Cassper to the agency in an act of respect for the late rapper.

It was nice doing business with you Vth Season byeee.

I choose Mega cz he always Choose us over betrayals of this world.

However, there were also those that believed that the agency did nothing wrong, asserting that the agency did nothing wrong given that they have lost the biggest artist on their roster. Cassper as a “replacement” makes for the perfect client considering that he was AKA’s “arch-nemesis” and biggest competition.

Benza & Vth Season stopped doing AKA bookings in 2018. They do continental bookings for a number of artists Kwesta included. All Tsibipians want #Justice4AKA because they know someone might think killing our icons is fair game in this country. Don’t let the friends getaway now!🤞🏽

Who else is in AKA’s level that could make Vth Season the kind of money AKA did? It makes business sense. On the other hand, I don’t think Forbes’s spirit has a problem with this. Him & Cass were made Hip Hop relevant. https://t.co/JwGjRsuLtb

As such, Raphael Benza, who is the owner of Vth season seeing the backlash denies signing Cassper in any capacity. 

We have not signed Cassper Nyovest in any shape or form. Cassper is a talented artist and has an extremely capable Team. Don’t get distracted …

However, this is not the first time that Cassper has done something like this where he seemingly takes over where AKA previously had made an impact. Remember when Cassper took over AKA’s The Braai Show? A decision which resulted in one of their last social media and public beef. 

“Wish the media would treat me like Kiernan and ’em”

Yeah well you got your wish from The Braai Show to Vth Season.
