Mzansi debates between Tyla and Shebeshxt

A heated debate ensued on whether Tyla is the right fit for the brand, as opposed to Shebeshxt.

@Paballo_maseko_ asked:

"Yall really believe in your right minds that Shebe was supposed to get the Nike endorsement deal instead of Tyla? A Limpopo star vs an international star. La gafa?"

@Nkabiikazii claimed:

"Shebe is more deserving; he has been the one to generate higher sales for Nike in the past years."

@jaybug1313 laughed:

"Guys you have to be internationally appealing to be endorsed by Nike 😐 Stop this they should have given Shebe."

@McSeel012 clarified:

"Tyla is bigger than Shebe. Tyla makes more revenue than Shebe. Tyla is more disciplined than Shebe. Brands are not crazy. They choose wisely."

@JustLebz argued:

"A good point, his influence is even noticeable on how youngins in Limpopo style their Nike drip like Shebe would….Nike should look into their sales numbers in Limpopo to verify your point ekse."
