    Following the tragic passing of his buddy and business colleague DJ Sumbody, Cassper explains his reasoning for hiring more security guards.

    Cassper Nyovest has said that he no longer feels safe. Cassper made the decision to increase his security as a result.

    On November 20, while en route to a gig in Woodmead, Johannesburg, DJ Sumbody was shot and killed. Cassper said to Zimoja that he was troubled after seeing the photographs of DJ Sumbody.

    “Someone was so insensitive and sent me pictures of Sumbody’s body in the car after he was gunned down. I only saw parts of the picture and closed it once I realised what it was. I couldn’t bear to see him in that light,” said Cassper.

    The Tito Mboweni songwriter acknowledged that his lack of awareness of his surroundings led him to believe that he was in danger before DJ Sumbody’s untimely death.
    “It’s not safe, man. I have been ignorant for a very long time and DJ Sumbody’s death woke me and made me realise that we are not safe. His death really f**ked me up,” he said.
    The hip-hop icon also referred to his position as a well-known person. He decided to get protection because he lives in a house, drives a nice car, and owns expensive jewellery.

     

    “I am always walking around with expensive jewellery. I can’t afford to put my life at risk and tempt people.

    “I also need to remember who I am; I am Cassper Nyovest. I am not just some normal guy who can just walk around freely. I would love to live like that, walk around the streets and not be recognised, but I am not that guy.

    “Someone made me realise that this is not the way to go, and Sumbody’s death made me aware that I need to be safe and remember who I am, Cassper explained.

    Cassper remarked that when he attends gigs here at home or outside the country, he travels with his bodyguards. “It comes as part of the booking. Even before I blew up when I travel to other countries they come with mad bodyguards and safety. They even stand outside your hotel room, it’s the norm and I will be doing the same here at home. People are hungry,” he said.
