The musician revealed on Sunday that his father had passed away. Posting on social media he said: “RIP papa. Thank you for everything.”
Cassper clarified that Dikgole wasn’t his biological father but he did help raise him.
“I see some people are confused about this post. I know I don’t need to explain myself but just to put the facts out, this man was not my biological father but he lived with my mom for years and he has been the man in my mom’s life for years hence he is my dad. RIP Papa Edgar.”
