Cassper Nyovest has announced that his latest album, ”Sweet and Short” which was released on Friday, November 30, 2018 is now platinum.
The South African rapper has grown quite a name for himself selling out stadiums like the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg late last year and more recently the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, December 1, 2018.
He can now add another feather to his ever illustrious career as his latest album, ”Sweet and Short” has been certified to have gone platinum 24 hours after its release by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA).
In a message posted on his social media pages on Monday, December 3rd, Cassper shared a picture of the plaque being presented to him with the caption, ”Killed 2 stadiums back to back and my new album Sweet and Short went platinum in a day.”

For an album to be certified gold status in South Africa, it should have sold over 15,000 copies, and 30,000 copies for platinum status.
The album which features the likes of Frank Casino, DJ Sumbody, Boskasie and Shwi Nomntekhala follows the path of his past projects, which last year reportedly sold a cummulative figure of 10 million album units.
