"Didn't they teach him ukuthi isihlahla awusinyeli?"

@NdabeLit commented:

'If we say the car is not his. Bazothi sinomona."

"Also, why is he being stroked in that direction? The person capturing the video is trying to get the lad to say unkind stuff to his fans. That’s not constructive at all. Why make a standoff ka ngwano’ mong only for him to remain with the aftermath? Aowa 🚮"

@Thendo_Khae_remartked:

"Typical poor mindset of a singer, shame."

@Ihhashi_Turkei remarked:

"He just never learns."

@Melo_Malebo added:

"This is gonna be so short-lived."

@alferzw was unimpressed:

"His level of arrogance is unimaginable ☹️"

@Malesela_Movu defended Scotts:

"Telling his fans, didn't the camera guy ask, 'what does that song of yours say again?'"

@MashMustbe slammed the musician

"We will be there."

@realstacks95 added:

"Don’t forget the fans that quickly. The car and house still need insurance and maintenance, BMW for that matter. Those are both liabilities"
