South African hip-hop rapper and songwriter Refiloe Maele Phoolo, known in the music circle as Cassper Nyovest has been called by fans for not paying lobola for his baby mama Thobeka after she took to his social media account to share a photo of herself in the kitchen cooking.
The primary purpose of lobola is to build relations between the respective families, as marriage is perceived to be more than just a union between two individuals.
Lobola, by tradition, is a token of appreciation to the bride’s parents for raising a woman for the groom and should not be seen as a chance to make money.
Taking to her Instagram account, Cassper’s baby mama and partner shared a picture of herself cooking, and fans called out Cassper to pay lobola for her already since the two have been together for a while now.
Thobeka’s caption can also be said to be what triggered such a reaction. “someone send cows for my beef stew 🐃,” the fashionista wrote.
