CASSPER PENS A MESSAGE TO LEKAU

The rapper, whose real name is Refiloe Maele Phoolo, has penned a sweet and heartfelt message to Lekau following reports that his popular retailer, Drip Footwear, has allegedly been liquidated after failing to settle R20 million for advertising services.

In light of the reports, the rapper who is a close friend and business partner of Lekau showed his support for him on X. The two had previously teamed up together to launch Cassper’s Root of Fame merchandise.

The Tito Mboweni rapper said that Lekau has consistently supported him since their first meeting and that he has his back. He mentioned that every business experiences its highs and lows, and it’s important not to lose hope.

“Lekau is a fighter! He built an amazing company, and he has an inspiring story. Business is hard; it’s got ups and downs. I also want to say that he has held me down since we met and worked together. I got your back! Keep your head up, G! I know you’ll be back with a bang,” he tweeted.

The businessman responded to Cassper’s high-powered message and appreciated him.

“Brother. We’re definitely not starting from the bottom. Thanks, King,” he wrote.

In January, Sunday World reported that WideOpen Platform had reportedly submitted legal documents to the high court in Johannesburg requesting that Drip be liquidated.

WideOpen Platform claimed the company was insolvent and unable to meet its financial obligations. According to court papers seen by the outlet, Tomer Cohen, managing director of WideOpen Platform, said that Drip should be dissolved.

“The respondent is currently indebted to the applicant in the sum of R20 442 285.06 with interest thereon at the prevailing prime interest rate calculated from 1 June 2023 to the date of payment, both days inclusive,” read the court papers.

REMAINING CONFIDENT DURING TOUGH TIMES
Against the news, Lekau Sehoana, the founder of Drip, reassured his fans and social media followers on X that he is staying positive and “focused” during this difficult time.

“A day in the life of an entrepreneur. You can lose it all, but just don’t lose your mind and focus. You’ll need those to rebuild,” he wrote on X.
