Twitter users did not take kindly to the major shade Cassper Nyovest threw at Bafana Bafana.
The ‘Tito Mboweni’ rapper was glued to his TV screen during the recent UEFA Euro 2020 matches.
“What a beautiful game!!! Wow!!!! Bafana Bafana could never but asikho lapho!!!#EURO2020,” Cassper tweeted.

t is one thing for the sports minister to call South Africa’s national team a “bunch of losers”, but it touches a nerve when your favourite rapper does it.
Several Twitter users clapped back at Cassper’s tweet with some shade of their own.
“U would be crying when we watch Kendrick Lamar or Drake spitting elite bards and we start saying Cassper Nyovest would never…Dont do that bla…” one tweep replied.
Cassper “agreed” and added some more spice to his Twitter thread.
“True, but that doesn’t stop yall from doing it does it ? You just did it right now so lenna leave me alone sephiri!” he hit back.

But why, Cass?
Many Twitter users thought it was unnecessary for Cassper to drag Bafana Bafana’s name just because European teams were performing well.
Some provided receipts of times when South Africa’s national football team beat countries like France.
Others understood that “clowning Bafana Bafana was too difficult to resist”.
Here’s a look at what others had to say.
