Cassper Nyovest’s sweet birthday message to his son Khotso

South African rapper and record producer, Refiloe Maele Phoolo – famously known as Cassper Nyovest – shared a heartfelt message to his son, Khotso, for his second birthday on Monday.

The Doc Shebeleza hitmaker, 31, took to his personal Instagram account to share a video of him and his son. In the video, Nyovest is seen working out whilst “Simba” imitates Mufasa.

His son’s nickname, Simba, is derived from the movie – The Lion King.

Since 2017, following his “fill up FNB stadium” event, which featured lion sculptures on stage, Nyovest began referring to himself as “Mufasa” – Simba’s father in The Lion King.

‘My purpose to try harder’

Born after the release of his father’s album – A.M.N (Any Minute Now) – on 12 September 2020, Khotso is Nyovest’s first child with Thobeka Majozi – a woman that social media has dubbed the “rich mom”. 

“Happy second birthday to my twin, my gym partner and my purpose to try harder every single day,” the amateur boxer wrote to his son.

“I don’t know where I would be without the responsibility of being your father champ. I love you so much. May God grant us good health, time and unconditional love,” he added.

Meanwhile, Thobeka shared an intimate photo of her and Khotso which she captioned: “The birth of you was the rebirth of me, happy second birthday my love”.
