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.
