‘Maths mpolaye,’ say Cassper’s followers after he gets the calculations all wrong

The rapper was quick to say he'd merely been 'provoking' his followers.


Cassper Nyovest embarrassed tsibipians on Wednesday after questioning DJ Mo Flava’s maths skills, when it was actually perfectly correct.

Mo Flava responded to a tweet that was sending birthday wishes to the “world’s oldest man”, who apparently turned 146 years old today, and said he had seen the 1800s, 1900s and 2000s.

But Cassper jumped in and questioned Mo Flava’s calculation.

“Don’t know about this maths, Mo,” responded Cassper.

Cassper later said he was just “provoking” his followers, though some did not buy his story, saying it was a PR comeback.

Others could not help but be embarrassed for him.

Cassper has always been mocked for not having matric, though it doesn’t seem to bother him.

“Yah ne, when it’s about school stuff you start embarrassing us tsibipians,” said one of his fans.

Though some said they did not believe the old man was even 145, they still explained to Cassper why Mo Flava’s maths was right.
