Listen guys #FillUpFNBStadium was the best fucking concert I’ve ever been to in my 34 years of age, 14 years in entertainment industry & 789 years of fangirling.
I’ll save my thread & full breakdown for Sunday Twitter.
But Basically: @CassperNyovest is the Pride Of Africa 🙌— NINA HASTIE (@THATninahastie) December 3, 2017
I don’t think people realise that 68 000 is only 7 000 short of 75 000.
To me that’s WAY MORE than most artists in the WORLD can do.@CassperNyovest is a legend. #FillUpFNBStadium pic.twitter.com/t2eMqrcp22

Cassper Nyovest tweeted he was taking the ‘fill up’ concerts concept to Durban because the city had the vibe. The award-winning rapper has worked in the past with Durban artists such as Nasty C, DJ Tira, Mampintsha, Babes Wodumo and Kyle Deutsch, to name a few.
Moses Mabida next year!!! Durban has the vibe!!! #FillUpFNBStadium

Durban people will only fill up Moses Mabhida if they say “coolers allowed in” 😂🤣

Someone tell Cassper Nyovest over there that Durban will never fill up anything.
