Abuti Fill Up is known for filling up various stadium venues in the country using his famous #FillUp concept. Cassper, who is preparing to fill up Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban in December, has been embroiled in an on-going debate over his alleged trademark of the phrase, ‘Fill Up’.

Cassper has accused Benny Mayengani of stealing his idea, after he successfully filled up the 20 000-seater Giyani stadium this past weekend. Lerato ‘TLee’ Moiloa, who is Cassper’s manager, said he approached Mayengani before the concert on Saturday, urging him to desist from using the phrase.

According to several reports, Moiloa claims that Nyovest trademarked the ‘Fill Up’ phrase over a year ago.

Speaking on The Drive with Moflava and Masechaba Ndlovu on Metro FM, Cassper explained that while he may not have a matric qualification, he has made sure to educate himself about the music industry. He clarified that he only owns the rights to the phrase ‘Fill UP’ in relation to live performance events and not in every day use.

Mr Nyovest has come forward claiming that he owns the popular #FillUp concept and that his manager Lerato ‘TLee’ Moiloa approached Benny before the concert on Saturday, asking him not to use the concept.

In the past, Cassper fulfilled his goals by filling up the Dome, Orlando Stadium and FNB Stadiums using the #FillUpTheDome #FillUpOrlandoStadium and #FillupFNBStadium concept.

Cassper’s manager said Cassper trademarked the concept last year. He further stated that they have approached a legal team to deal with the Benny Mayengani issue.

“This guy (Cassper) spent so many millions building the #FillUp brand, now you want to come and eat from it, and if he does anything about it ‘he is being a bully or victimising people’,” he said.
