Nickelodeon Africa Announces Cassper Nyovest, ProVerb And Pearl Thusi To Attend NickFest 2015

Nickelodeon Africa has announced the exciting news that hip hop prodigy Cassper Nyovest will be performing live at the inaugural NickFest on Saturday 13th June 2015!

Comments Cassper Nyovest, "I'm very excited to be part of the first ever South African edition of NickFest. I've been proud to collaborate and perform alongside influential artists from HHP to Talib Kweli, DJ Drama, Kid Cudi and Kendrick Lamar, but I'll be taking my career to a new level when I share a stage with icons like SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and a quartet of giant green amphibians warriors!"

Born in the small neighbourhood of Montshiwa in Mafikeng, Cassper started rapping at the age of 12, before leaving school at 16 to follow his dream of Hip Hop stardom.

After he dropped his own official single Gusheshe in 2013, Cassper's career took off, and he has since won an astonishing array of awards, including the South African Hip Hop Awards, the Metro FM Awards and the SAMAs, plus Best African Male Artist at the Channel O Awards. Cassper has high hopes of winning his first BET Award in June, and believes he'll score a Grammy one day soon!

Also performing alongside Cassper on 13 June will be teen vocal group The Buzz, the Tsogo Sun Arts Academy All Stars, ProVerb, and Morgan Beat Box. Two shows will be held daily at 10am-1pm, and 2pm-5pm, with Mi Casa headlining the lineup for Sunday 14 June 2015. Three Nickelodeon character shows and meet and greets take place on both days.
