WATCH: Silverstar lights up with Cassper Nyovest's hit concert
The West Rand was treated to a spectacular performance by one of South Africa's top and record-breaking artists.
Silverstar recently hosted Cassper Nyovest, who brought his rhymes and rhythm to The Square as many fans from the West Rand gathered to see the show. Known as Mr. Fill Up, a nickname earned because he is one of the few South African rappers to have sold out iconic venues, Nyovest captivated the audience with his dynamic performance.
Cassper Nyovest made history by selling out tickets for his 2015 concert, Fill Up the Dome, held at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg.
This success led him to continue the 'Fill Up' brand with annual concerts in various stadiums, including Orlando Stadium (2016) and FNB Stadium (2017), both in Johannesburg, Moses Mabhida Stadium (2018) in Durban, and Royal Bafokeng Stadium (2019) in the North West.
Born Refiloe Phoolo on 16 December 1990, Nyovest is a rapper, songwriter, entrepreneur, record producer, and amateur boxer from Mahikeng, North West. He is widely regarded as one of South Africa's most successful artists.
In 2014, he founded his own record label, Family Tree Records. Nyovest rose to fame with his debut studio album, Tsholofelo (2014), which included hit singles like Gusheshe and Doc Shebeleza. During the Silverstar event, he performed these hits, energising the crowd with his sharp lyrics and charismatic stage presence. He also performed other platinum-certified songs such as Tito Mboweni.
The concert featured opening acts by local artists, including Seekay, Kingsley Cheeko, Milo and other talented performers.
