Johannesburg – In a recent interview on Podcast and Chill with MacG, amapiano artist, Boohle revealed that the hit song, Siyathanda by Cassper Nyovest where she was featured alongside Abidoza was not written by him.
She mentioned that he only wrote his verse and that is it.
She added that even for the verse that he wrote, she was not even there at the time.
Nyovest who recently entered the amapiano scene has been giving his fans snippets of the song through videos on his Twitter page before officially releasing it on the 16th of July, this year.
Many were excited about the song and it has since been well received.
He is currently on tour in London with many other amapiano artists such as Kamo Mphela and DBN Gogo and the song seems to be a hit worldwide.
The music video for the song which was released two months ago is currently sitting on seven million views on YouTube which proves that people love the song.

Cassper commented on the clip of the interview that was posted on Twitter stating that he is very disappointed and will not explain anything regarding how the song came about.

This is so disappointing and I've watched it a few times. I won't even explain anything about how this song was written but I got sooo much love for Boohle man. One of the most gentle of souls I've met and we made magic together. May God bless her, May she make many more hits. https://t.co/d24IcNRt6O

There were many mixed reactions to what was said although many stood behind Boohle and agreed with Mac G by saying that she is the one that made the song famous and that she had the right, to tell her side of the story.
Although some feel like she had the right, to speak her mind, some feel like she may have ruined her possibilities of working with Nyovest in the future.
Since the interview, Boohle, has not commented on the statement that she made.
