Talk is cheap as long as it doesn’t hurt, and Cojo Rae talks about it in Kasapa (Hatred) from the Generation Z Highlife Albums

Kasa is Akan for “speech” and the parenthesis tells you the angle, which is “hate.” Together they suggest the kind of spiel people throw at someone who’s doing well: the whispers, the side comments, and the cutting quips. In every community there are always people who cannot congratulate a neighbor without adding a complaint.

“Hater” is a fairly common word for Nigerians. Anyone who has started a business, bought a car, or shared a great photo has encountered one. I won’t explain the words because I can’t verify them, but a title like this suggests a record of defiance, in which the speaker shrugs off the noise and keeps moving.

This is the magic of attitude. When a friend laughs Kasapa (Hatred) by showing you a new dress, you’ll know who they’re kidding.

Anyone who has been the subject of gossip for their good performances will relate to the idea. It suits celebratory nights and confident weekends.
