Cassper launches a new mobile phone

The hip hop giant’s venture is in partnership with AG Mobile and MTN and took place today at MTN’s Head Office. “I used to dream about days like these. Today I launch my cellphone with AG Mobile,” the rapper captioned one of his recent Instagram pictures, adding that later on he will be flying out, to ‘headline’ his first show in America.

According to Zalebs, AG Mobile said that Cassper played an integral role in the design, development, and specifications of the mobile phone, but fans express mixed emotions about the project, with some loving its red colour and others asking the rapper why he encourages people to buy the phone while he apparently still uses an iPhone.

Nonetheless organisers confirmed that the official launch of the device will take place in May, so enthusiastic fans will have to hold their horses a little bit longer.

Here is what tweeps had to say about his achievement:
