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.
