Rapper and businessman Cassper Nyovest took on actor Siv Ngesi on Twitter after a month long appeal from Ngesi, to get into the boxing ring.

Ngesi has called out Nyovest to challenge him in a boxing match, but Nyovest ignored the “Woman King” actor’s invitation.

Ngesi told IOL Entertainment: “I will fight anyone, even Big Zulu, but they’re avoiding me because they’re scared of me.”

After more than a month, Nyovest has said that Ngesi wasn’t famous enough to fall in his league of opponents.

Ngesi recently posted a video of him boxing in heels, to which Nyovest replied: “First of all, this clip had 4 comments in 1 hour before I responded (Heals and All).

“This is the reason I won’t take your fight over Big Zulu who is 10 times more famous and 3 times the size. I would love to fight you though cause you’re easy money. See you soon buddy!!!”

Ngesi clapped back: “All I hear is excuses! But I get why you picked him!! But I love how confident you’re sounding suddenly.

“Make sure you don’t let the confidence become stupidity. against me you’ll get knocked out first round and I’ll do 10 jump splits and 3 worms to celebrate! love and respect.”

Tweeps aired their opinions.

@MmusiMaimane told Nyovest: “We all know that’s not the reason.”
