The Tsibipians congregate, consume Cassper’s music, wear his apparel and defend his honour against anyone who openly criticises the rapper. They do this with few to no questions asked.

‘To be honest/ I gotta give mad credit to fans/ for letting me be myself in a world you not allowed to/ You always give me your love/ I never doubt you/ Niggas think I’m arrogant just because I’m a loud dude/ If the work speaks for itself I got a mouthful.”. To make his signing to the record label official, the gathering took place at the Universal Music recording studios in Rosebank, two days before it dropped internationally.

And once this is recognised, it’s impossible not to acknowledge the people who put the rapper on this pedestal of glory, his unalloyed fans: the Tsibipians.. In 2016 Cassper’s rap nemesis AKA was second in line to visit Shade 45’s Sway in The Morning radio show, following Cassper. He articulated his disdain of Cassper by saying: “Now they got me sitting on the same damn chair as Tsibip.” Since then AKA’s fans refer to those in Cassper’s camp as Tsibipians.

Over the weekend, a picture taken outside Moses Mabhida appears on Twitter: a group of Tsibipians stand in a circle holding hands and, with their heads bowed, pray for Abuti Fill Up. Like most fans, Tsibipians are not concerned about the cost of their support. With one tracksuit costing R1 500, the fan merchandise doesn’t come cheap. The last thing on fans’ minds is Cassper profiting financially from their constant contributions.

Cassper constantly checks in with fans. Whether he is releasing a new album, beefing with rappers on Twitter, planning to take the next leg of #FillUp to Botswana or shooting a new music video, he okays it with his fans. Perhaps the loyalty of the Tsibip nation comes from the ownership the fans feel.
