Beyond Fame and Fortune: Cassper Nyovest’s Selfless Gesture Saves Friend Carpo’s Life
In a heartwarming tale of friendship and heroism, South African rapper Cassper Nyovest proved that bonds forged through thick and thin can be life-saving. Actor and television personality Solomon More, fondly known as Carpo, revealed how his best friend, Cassper Nyovest, came to his rescue, literally saving his life by paying for a critical surgery when tragedy struck.
The incident occurred during a deeply emotional moment at Carpo’s mother’s funeral, where grief was met with insensitivity. As emotions ran high, a hurtful comment from a friend triggered an outburst of anger, leading Carpo to impulsively punch through a glass surface. The devastating result was a severed vein in his wrist, endangering his life as blood gushed uncontrollably.
Despite the urgency of the situation, Carpo’s lack of medical aid seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. But in a display of unwavering friendship and love, Cassper Nyovest stepped in immediately. Without a second thought, he rushed to Carpo’s side, driving him to the hospital himself.
Upon reaching the medical facility, the gravity of the situation became apparent. Carpo was informed that he had accidentally cut a vital vein responsible for pumping blood to his heart. The situation was dire, and his life hung in the balance. However, thanks to Cassper Nyovest’s quick thinking and determination, Carpo received the medical attention he urgently needed.
The incredible gesture didn’t stop there. Refusing to let financial constraints hinder the life-saving surgery, Cassper Nyovest decided to foot the entire bill, which amounted to a staggering R130,000 – a true testament to the depth of their friendship.
Speaking about the life-altering incident, Carpo recounted,
“If it weren’t for Refiloe covering my surgery costs, I wouldn’t be here today.”
The doctors, too, echoed the sentiment, describing Carpo’s survival as nothing short of a miracle.
