Sjava on social media and the negative comments
In October 2024, Sjava spoke on the impact social media has on artists and how they make their music. The muso ignited a debate online, with people disagreeing with his statements.
Taking to Twitter (X), Sjava relayed his thoughts on the impact of having too much access to critics and how this affects their expression. The Ngempela hitmaker said this negatively influences the artists, the creative process.
Why Sjava is not in a committed relationship
Meanwhile, in April 2024, the award-winning singer and actor was a guest on a YouTube podcast that discussed love and relationships. A popular news and gossip page shared a clip from that interview on X, and it raised a few eyebrows.
The Umbayimbayi musician admitted that he fears falling in love with a woman, saying love is dangerous. Sjava would end a relationship if he gets too attached to a partner.
"For me, love is dangerous. I am scared of it. A lot of times I run away. If I can see that I am falling way too deep for this woman, I end things."
Sjava refuses to give women money
In a previous report from Briefly News, Sjava shared during an interview with Kaya 959 that he would never bless a woman with money.
