While the comments were trickling in, Cassper couldn’t keep calm as he assured fans the reason for the price was “quality over quantity.” However, as the debate around the tracksuits grew hotter he decided to hit back at his haters.
You haven't even touched the tracksuit but it's already crappy cause it's a South African brand right? Haven't even seen it yet. ? https://t.co/plBGxSAnLn

Earlier this year when the Family Tree store opened for the firs time, among the things on display was a pair of designers shoes which Cassper said he has worn only twice.
“This pair of shoes is called the Maison Martin Margiela, when I bought it, it was R20 000, and I performed with it at The Dome. So on that night i was wearing it for the very first time. I also wore it for the Zulu girls’ video, and I haven’t worn it since.” Subsequently, he decided to make R80 000 gain from the pair which he put on the shelf for R100 000.
