The controversial star recently spoke about how it is important to support local brands and help them grow. According to TimesLIVE, DJ Sbu recently conducted a comparison between the overhyped Prime energy drink and the Mofaya energy drink.

He said that there was nothing special about Prime energy drink, but it's just that South Africans have the mentality that it's better because it's from America. He said:

"It’s nothing special. It’s not like it’s a drink you’ll drink that will drive your car or give you the Lotto numbers. It's not gonna make you good at what you do.

"Let’s not be too easily excited about things coming from overseas that are too expensive with no value to add to our lives."
