Cassper Nyovest boxing record is as great as his history in South Africa’s music industry is.
He started off as a hip hop artist and within no time, Mzansi was jamming to his well-curated hits such as Doc Shebeleza, Malome, and Baby Girl among many others. Then came the amapiano wave and he switched camp with his all-time hit Siyathandana.

Cassper Nyovest boxing record dates back to his first fight in December 2021 when he fought YouTuber, Slik Talk and won. With this fame, he bid for another fight with fellow South African artist NaakMusiQ in April 2022.
However, he wasn’t as lucky in this bout because he lost although under controversial circumstances. It was a highly publicized fight dubbed Actor vs Musician held at the Sun City Stadium. NaakMusiQ was declared the winner after five rounds of a spirited match.
Months later, Cassper Nyovest redeemed himself after a fight with Priddy Ugly in October 2022. He won round 1 of their celebrity boxing battle by knockout.

The ‘Destiny’ hitmaker launched this brand in November 2021 driven by the thought of offering South African elites a taste of wealth as he puts it. Cassper clarified that he goes named the alcohol brand Billiato, from ‘billion’ to act as an inspiration and a positive state of mind. Besides, it’s a name taking cues from the style of living in the Vaal Township in South Africa.
