Cassper Nyovest, aka Bhuti Fill Up, has set a big international goal for himself. The rapper says he wants to sell out London’s famous O2 Arena.
“I need a 1 man show in London soon. I also want to play O2 in the next 2 years and be the first South African to sell it out. Will you be there?” he tweeted.

The ‘Tito Mboweni’ rapper added that he has become “way too comfortable” in South Africa and needs to reach new heights.
“I’m definitely going to sell out the O2 arena in a few years if not 2. That’s my dream. I’m way too comfortable in South Africa. Time for a new challenge! This trip has been nothing bt inspiring. It’s also been motivating to see our growth from my first time performing in London.”

Cassper’s fans are confident he will be able to sell out the O2 Arena.
“The world is your oyster. All the best brother-man,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another added: “You can definitely do it. Most Zim artists frequent England because of the large number of Zimboz in that country. Do not forget your neighbours rock to SA music too. Southern Africans got you. The hype will string other Africans to join also. Africans outside of Africa are one.”
Cassper takes to the stage in London
Cassper got a taste of what he can expect from music lovers in London when he performed at Ama Fest. He was one of several African stars to make an appearance at the amapiano festival.
“UK SHOW KILLER!!! Amapiano to the world!! South Africa to the world!!! Cassper Nyovest!!! What an experience!!!!!”
If anyone can sell out The O2 it’s Cassper. The 30-year-old’s ‘Fill Up’ concerts have been a major success in South Africa.
He made history in 2015 when he filled up the Ticket Pro Dome in 2015. Cassper took his ‘Fill Up’ shows to Moses Mabhida Stadium, Orlando Stadium, and FNB Stadium – which has a capacity of 94,736. He sold a whopping 68,000 tickets for his FNB Stadium show.
If anyone can fill up London’s 20, 000-capacity O2 Arena it’s Cassper Nyovest!
