South African rapper and entrepreneur Cassper Nyovest recently addressed rumors about his weight gain, clarifying that it has nothing to do with his marriage. The speculation started after the “Doc Shebeleza” hitmaker mentioned taking his “hot wife” out on a date, prompting fans and followers to assume his marriage was the reason behind his added pounds.
Cassper, whose real name is Refiloe Maele Phoolo, took to Twitter (X) to set the record straight. He explained that his weight gain was actually due to a period of depression and poor mental health, not his marital status. He explained:
“I didn’t gain weight cause of my marriage. I gained weight cause of depression and my mental health being in the worst condition ever. I’m now healed though, started to go to the gym slowly, we gone get handsome soon and I’m not gonna let none of y’all hit!”

One follower, @sebatamathibela, questioned how Cassper could be depressed despite his wealth, saying, “How do you get depressed while you have millions in your bank? Mos rena re hwile ka di 350.” Another fan offered words of encouragement: “Mufasa, fix your things so that you can be alright.”
Others shared their own experiences and offered spiritual support. @_OfentseLehipi commented:
“Bro, we’re rocking the same boat. Glad to hear you’re getting back at it. Remember to reverence the Lord God Almighty without ceasing. He alone will take away the pain, anxiety, and restore your mental health. Nnela tsotlhe Moreneng grootes.”
A follower named IconikOnly raised a concern about Cassper’s mental state during his marriage, asking, “Did you get married while in a depression state of mind?” This prompted a deeper reflection on the impact of mental health on relationships and personal decisions.

Another supporter, @BetaneNditsheni, reflected on the importance of inner well-being: “We always look at the outside while the inner man suffers. God, please grant us wisdom and zeal to live for your purpose, not ours. Amen.”
Cassper’s transparency about his mental health struggles and subsequent recovery resonated with many of his followers, highlighting the often-overlooked connection between mental health and physical well-being. Despite the challenges, he assured his fans that he is on the path to recovery, hitting the gym and focusing on getting back in shape.
The rapper’s willingness to open up about such personal issues serves as a reminder that mental health struggles can affect anyone, regardless of their external success. His story also underscores the importance of addressing these issues head-on and seeking support when needed.
