‘I wish I was from Nigeria’ says Casper Nyovest in his tweets
Popular South African Rapper, Casper Nyovest tweeted last night applauding the love and unity in the Nigeria music industry and the way we celebrate our own, all these got him wishing he was Nigerian.
The 28-year-old rapper whose real name is Refiloe Maele Phoolo aka Casper Nyovest was replying to a tweet when he made the comment.
Refiloe Maele Phoolo was born on December 16, 1991 in Mafikeng, a borough of North West, to Muzuki and Letsebela Phoolo. Nyovest has a sister Tsholofelo Phoolo, and his late brother, Khotso Phoolo who passed on in 2003. He attended the Sol Plaatjie Secondary School where he was an athlete and partook in various sports. Nyovest started rapping at the age of 12. In 2006, he failed his Grade 10 exams which led him moving to his grandmother’s house in Potchefstroom. Therefore, in 2007, he decided to drop out of high school at the age of 16.
In 2008, Nyovest relocated to Johannesburg to pursue a career in music as a rapper and producer, after telling his parents he would rather chase his dream, which he believed would work out, rather than playing it safe and regretting it his whole life.
