Rapper and businessman Caspper Nyovest recently opened up about his life on Mpoomy Ledwaba’s The Wisdom & Wellness Podcast.
In the podcast, the rapper, whose real name is Refiloe Phoolo, discussed his struggles with addictions, depression, and a transformative encounter that changed his life.
When questioned about the toughest challenge he’s encountered and the turning point that led to his salvation, Nyovest shared his profound “Aha!” moment.
Cassper reflected, “I woke up one day consumed by unanswerable questions, as if my own explanations fell short. ‘Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?’ These inquiries pierced my soul.”
He recounted a period where he grappled with his faith, leading his life to spiral into a state of detachment, devoid of joy or concern.
Recalling a poignant moment in Durban during a performance, he recounted seeking solace with his son, only to find himself devoid of any emotional connection. He pondered, “What is this? How can I feel nothing towards my own son?“
“The devil had me so deep, everything that I did was validated and I could negotiate why I was doing it. I was addicted to sex, sexual immorality and I had such a big ego.
“God showed me that I had destroyed my life with sex. Sex was my master. It used to tell me what to do, and where to go. My days were short because sex was controlling me. I used to live a life so hectic and I thought it was fine because it was in secret.
“I used to wake up at 3am and go to people’s homes. This created a serious mess, I hurt my baby mama so much. And I have been single for two years by the way. I carried on living this life.”
Cassper opened up about his inner conflict, acknowledging his overall goodness but fearing damnation. Despite being prayerful, he sensed a superficial understanding of God.
Reflecting on his journey, he emphasized the personal quest for salvation. Cassper described a challenging encounter with God, highlighting humility and obedience as his current measures of success.
