Cassper Nyovest and Penny Penny Paternity Case Takes Interesting Turn

And the plot thickens: Then Cassper Nyovest and Penny Penny paternity case is taking an interesting turn. Controversial Shangaan disco music king Penny Penny has escaped a R1.5-million defamation lawsuit filed by Cassper Nyovest’s mother Muzuki Phoolo. In April, Cassper’s mother filed a R1.5-miillion lawsuit against Shangaan disco musician Penny Penny  for claiming that he was the hip-hop star’s father.

The magazine has offered Muzuki Phoolo R100000 in damages and will also pay for her legal costs, which are believed to be more than R100000 as a settlement. Penny Penny, whose real name is Eric Nkovani, confirmed he had escaped the R1.5-million bill.

“I spoke to the lawyer of Cassper’s mother and she told me that the magazine has offered to pay her and to apologise for the story,” he said.

“I also want to be paid because they wrote about me,” he said.

According to court papers seen by Sunday World, Penny Penny has not filed a notice to defend the lawsuit by Muzuki Phoolo.

“I wanted to be a witness in the case, but Cassper’s mother refused. I wanted to do that because I don’t have money to waste on lawyers while I could use it to support my kids,” said the Shaka Bundu hit maker.

The ANC councillor also said he was happy the matter was close to finality because it was not good for his image and music career.

“I want to be known for my music, politics and others things, but not this issue of being given a son.”
