Patrick Shai’s death: Hlomla Dandala questions Cassper’s use of the word ‘b***h’

There has been speculation that social media was a factor in late actor Patrick Shai’s passing. Fellow actor Hlomla Dandala has weighed in, insinuating that the toxicity of Twitter may have led to Shai taking his own life.
People close to Shai have spoken out in the press to state that the Cassper Nyovest debacle did affect him mentally.
This is after the veteran actor published a video saying he wants to fight the rapper in a boxing match, calling Cassper a “son of a b***h” and, therefore, insulting his mother.
The actor was supposedly looking forward to Cassper’s response and the tone of the video made this hard to achieve, said Thabang Sefotho the founder of a movement called Tigers Do Cry.

The River actor, Dandala shared a screenshot of one of Cassper’s songs Hypnotize featuring Nadia Nakai, highlighting the words “Look at my b***h”.
Dandala captioned his post: “#RIPPatrickShai.”
Commentators warned the actor that he was taking his argument too far and that Shai’s family asked people not to speculate about his death.
He shared on Tuesday the definition of b***h and said it wasn’t a reference to one’s family as Cassper may have thought.
