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. 

Vth Season partners with Cassper Nyovest after AKA’s death 

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

AKA has gone through a lot in recent months and it's refreshing to see him with a smile on his face.

A relieved AKA announced on Monday afternoon that he has won the long legal battle for his television show, The Braai Show. He made the announcement through an official statement.

This Morning, justice was finally served. I received confirmation of what I have always said; That I own the Braai Show.

The Supa Mega says it's always been about principals and asserting his right to his intellectual property.

This matter for me has always been about business principles and asserting my right to my intellectual property. It's about the injustices that continue to befall us in the creative industry and the violation of our trust by those we work with, who continue to exploit us.

AKA is happy that the proceedings have determined that he owns half of The Braai Show.
