Fans are divided about Shimza’s views
Local netizens reacted on social media to say Shimza was tweeting without thinking, while others defended the recording artist.
BuhleTheFirst defended Shimza:
“He's not wrong, though. Y'all are all talking about luxury brands being exactly like cheap knockoffs. But that's untrue. While the factories might all be in China, the luxury manufacturers use high-end materials, while the knockoffs are obviously just cheap imitations.”
Auntyspax disagreed with the fan:
“You didn’t even get what he was saying.”

“I mean, he is a DJ, which requires little to no brain activity.”
Sphadot said Shimza is a success:
“Did you know that @Shimza01 has his name in a star glued on the floor in America? Apply your mind to that.”
Snenjoko03 said expectations are high:
“You have high expectations. The guy is just a DJ shem.”
Matshepo143 said the fans should not be talking:
“I’ve seen him play in a club in Greece, where the entrance was 21k. Nah, you don’t get to such places without applying your mind. My take.”
Mzimela_Mvu asked a question:
“How did he make millions then?”
Khanyoe_theDJ gave their view:
“But you also didn’t get what he was saying.”
ChiefJusticeHD backed Shimza:
“Shimza will feed your whole family with his mind!”
MvulaneDo criticised Shimza:
“Niks and it’s been years.”
