Motswako Rapper Blows Up

Cassper Nyovest album

Mr Nyovest the game changer

The popular Refiloe Maele Phoolo known as Cassper Nyovest was born in Mafikeng on the 16 December 1990. How dope is it for a high school drop out who decided to be a rapper and just days ago won 5 Metro awards? I think its passion and all it takes is just one step you decide to take. His album Tsholofelo was released on the 18 July 2014 which took over the music industry locally and internationally recognised. It is very clear that his fan base on social media is playing a big part in his music and as a person.

Nyovest record label

Family Tree

Cassper Nyovest grew rapidly as a brand through social media after he released "Gusheshe'' which was produced under his own record label he owns called Family Tree. Gusheshe is a very catchy song that received a lot of recognition from across various radio stations in South Africa. "Doc Shebeleza'' was then released and he gained major success.

Social media

People started knowing and hearing more about the rap artist through different social media networks such as radio stations for instance because the cool rapper came to Johannesburg and HHP exposed him to all his connections. His music was first played in our radios then saw videos on TV. People now wanted to know more about the rapper started following him on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. He created a social media platform for ONLY his fans in order for him to speak Hip Hop, share his FREE music through his platform and so he just knows what his fans think. Nyovest started treading everywhere when his music was everywhere, winning awards and known for his music.

North ''God"AKA vs Mostwako rapper Cassper Nyovest "BEEEEF"

August last year the rapper had BEEF with Aka backstage on the SABC 1 Live Amp studios. AKA's friend Prince Costinyo pulled a gun out for Nyovest, the beef became heated and AKA allegedly assaulted Nyovest's manager. Twitter was treading about the beef between the two artists and why the charges were later dropped out of court. The rappers started throwing shade, swearing each other on social media.

Twitter "The Devil"

Da Les tweets

Screen munches on Twitter and Instagram of who is bigger than who on Itunes made it to word of mouth, people having their own opinions of what they think about the childish behaviour from the two street rappers. The public hated the beef and some thought it was a stunt as they share the same public relations practitioner. People entertained the beef as it dragged to appear on television and radio, they had to say "'Cassper gets the legendary Doc Shebeleza on his music video. If Aka gets Thebe on the congratulate music video then he wins''. Some fans said ''Dont hate on Cassper. Gusheshe and Doc Shebeleza are major hits. Got niggas feeling threatened'' whilst Aka's friend Da Les said ''Look I dont wanna hear only artists saying they got the number 1 song in the country right now unless u my bro @akaworldwide''

My Thoughts

The public should learn not to judge people from where they come from but listen and learn from the talent that is being given by the rappers. Both of these artists got big headed after seeing that the public is entertaining them on different social media. I think we should support each other and not look down on other musicians. Guns being pulled out to show that my brothers have my back is not the right way forward. Fans must embrace the fact that Cassper gives them FREE music to download via Twitter and with that it boosts the artists ranking and generate more fans. The two rapper have squashed their beef.

Ebola a living virus takes over the Western Africa

What is Ebola

Ebola is an infectious fatal disease marked by fever and severe internal bleeding, spread through contact with infected body fluids.

What the public thinks

Dead patients after being tested with Ebola

The public have different attitudes and opinions about the deadly virus and social media has a very big impact about the virus, causing everyone to panic about the misinformation about the virus. inaccurate information spread so fast on social media networks like Twitter and Facebook. Social media made it sound like Ebola was everywhere , mentions of the virus on Twitter went from 100 per minute to more than 6000.

Health officials have tested potential cases from Miami beach and Washington bringing more worry though the patients have been tested negative, many people are still tweeting as if the disease is in the city. If people did not believe and spread false information quickly about the virus, many people will not have the worry that the virus has spread to other cities.

Twitter and Facebook

"Tweeps" making fun of the Ebola virus on twitter

Social networks like Twitter and Facebook had posts saying that Ebola can be spread through food, air and water which was false information. If social media did not have so much power people would know and read correct information through mass media. The public should change their attitudes about the powerful role of social media because a single false statement can quickly affect thousands of people. The public like to believe that they are not capable to fall for a rumor but that is not always the case. If information is from a trusted source people are most likely to spread it everywhere.

The public

"A traveler you know is better than the traveler you do not know" and that was the argument. The Republican lawmakers who wanted to know information to know why the government hasn't banned commercial travel from the West African countries. The answer was given that authorities preferred a system whereby people can be screened that are trying to come into the United States. 

The public does not take the virus seriously as many people still make fun of how you can get infected by the virus and how you can prevent yourself from getting the virus. People that are infected with the virus or have died are still human and should not be seen like they are infected by a disgusting virus.

Using social media positively

Public awareness against Ebola virus.

The public should use social media to share correct information so that people have the correct things to say, learn and spread positive information. Social media is being used for the wrong reasons at times because not everyone is a trusted source for information to be spread fast.

Lets us support the people who are infected with the virus, sponsorship to be given and correct equipment to be used in the labs.
