MTN sponsors Cassper's #FillUpOrlandoStadium, refuses to say how much

MTN on Friday confirmed that it is the main sponsor for Cassper Nyovest's #FillUpOrlandoStadium, but has refused to say exactly how much it is contributing towards the show.

           In a statement the cellular giant said it was "pleased to be the headline sponsor of the historic event".

Since the announcement was made there has been much speculation about just how much Cassper would be raking in.

He was appointed as an ambassador for the company last year which often saw the hip-hop star boasting about the so-called "big money deal" calling it the "biggest endorsement deal in the South African music history".

Although no exact amount was confirmed the ten million rand figure was bandied about on social media.

Speaking of his #FillUpTheDome concert, Cassper said that it cost millions, R3.2million of which he claims he paid for out of his own pocket.

Earlier this year he said that #FillUpOrlandoStadium would cost R25million and appealed to sponsors to come forward.

But MTN is tight-lipped on the amount, saying that "numbers are never mentioned".

"Money has been given to Cassper for his Orlando show. We never disclose the amount. This is a separate deal to his endorsement with the company," said MTN's Bridget Bhengu.

So, we guess that means we can expect to see our boy riding around in another expensive car soon - compliments of MTN.
