Singer and rapper Sjava had a cheeky response to a troll who seemed to rub him off the wrong way after tagging the entertainer in a social media post.

The musician was a notable absentee from the annual Celebrity Soccer Games at the Tsakane Stadium on Saturday, 20 July.

Sjava hits back at troll

With the musicians whom some, perhaps, expected to see, Sjava's non-participation seemed jarring.

In his post, the poster wrote:

"Hawu, nkabi yami, bengithi ngizokubona la udlala ibhola. Udlalela eze hip-hop."

The poster, translating the post in English, noted that he was expecting to see Sjava playing at the tournament.

However, Sjava, without taking the long route, simply stated:

"One of the rules says no professionals are allowed to play in the tournament."

The short but fiery response was enough to tickle Mzansi's fancy as Sjava clearly alluded to himself as being a football pro.

Many saw this as sarcastic, as he had never played professional but amateur football.

However, in the end, he did well to avoid playing as tensions erupted later on during the final.
