Cassper hardly ever opens up about his personal troubles in public, however, during a recent interview with Slikour the rapper loosened up a bit.
There was a time when the rapper owed SARS money and he had to pay close to a million every month for two years straight.
“The was a time when I had to pay SARS R700K for two years. If I had one month where I didn’t make a payment they were going to reverse the agreement and still keep whatever I paid and go back to the initial amount. So, literally every single month I’m making R700k or more but I’m left with like R50k for almost two years,” he tells Sliour.
This was just after his Fill-Up in Moses Mabhida. He also had to settle the bill for the accountants that helped him.
Just when things were starting to look up for Cassper Covid happened and he was left with nothing. “I have no income that would be able to carry me out of this situation. I had cars that I had to pay, I’ve got employees. It was just a very tough time.”
Luckily he met Lekau and he started a few businesses of his own.
“I just kept the faith and that’s when the meeting with Lekau happened. I was panicking. That’s when I realised I had to start businesses that didn’t need me to be there physically. Billiato and Root of Fame were able to get me through that.
“A few friends borrowed me money but all my employees were paid in full throughout Covid,” shared the rapper.
