Cassper Nyovest did make history from selling out all the golden circle
tickets to bringing in a crowd large enough to literally fill out the
75, 000 capacity stadium.
Cassper Nyovest just made South
African history once again, being the first hip-hop artiste to ever hold
a concert at the FNB Stadium with an amazing turnout.
Chanel 24
reports that the 28-yr-old planned to triple the audience members from
his first ‘fill up concert’ by filling up Africa’s largest stadium.
Going by the visuals gathered from the event, Cassper seems to have done just that.
He did make history from selling out all the
golden circle tickets to bringing in a crowd large enough to literally
fill out the 75, 000 capacity stadium.
According
to the reports, the stadium was not only filled to capacity but by 9
pm, the other seating areas had a significant amount of concertgoers.
This hardly covers the crowd which was outside the arena as the gates had been closed.
Public Relations manager, Sheila Afari,
said that Cassper managed to sell an estimated, whopping 68, 000
tickets which is triple the amount at his fill up concert at the Ticket
Pro Dome in 2015.
The hitmaker announced two years ago that he
would be attempting to fill up the Ticket Pro Dome in Johannesburg but
of course, few took him seriously.
The
"Doc Shebeleza" rapper proved everyone wrong and went on to pull a crowd
of 20, 000 – making history as the first South African hip-hop artiste
to sell out a venue of that capacity without the help of an
international act.
Shortly after that, he announced that he would take his cause a step further by attempting to fill up Orlando Stadium which has approximately 40, 000 seats – which is twice the amount the Dome sits.
Cassper achieved this dream in 2016, filling the Orlando Stadium,
although unlike his first mega concert, the tickets were not sold out,
although they did get close.
AKA took to twitter – his favourite platform – to add his take on the biggest event of our time.
Don't worry, he was nice – or so we think.
"Powerful" AKA captioned an image from the concert and of course, it was met with disbelief, with people wondering if he really tweeted something complimentary

Cassper intended to fill up the stadium with 75 000 fans but fell 7 000 short of his target.
While the people in Mzansi are not completely finished celebrating Cassper's victory, the rapper already has his sights on his next gig location – in Durban.
Cassper would now like to fill up Moses Mabhida Stadium. The rapper admitted that he would like the people of Durban to attend a #FillUp gig because "Durban has the vibe"
