But fans felt his message went down the drain after Sbu bagged his gig at Radio 2000, saying he sold them a dream only to return to corporate.
Sbu told SowetanLIVE that he never told fans to deny opportunities but instead encouraged them to find what fulfils them:
"I’ve always motivated people to pursue their dreams and do what they love; I never said they should deny their opportunities. For people to claim that I'm a sellout is unfair. I was happy with my job on the radio, I just got fired.
"Entrepreneurs know there’s a reason why I signed a radio contract. Every move I make will open a new business; it's not just a regular radio gig."
