Shebeshxt on losing daughter

The Twerka hitmaker was involved in a car crash in which his nine-year-old daughter, Onthatile Chuene, died. In an interview with E4 Podcast, which was posted on YouTube on Monday, 9 June, Shebeshxt said he is experiencing heartbreak that will never go away.

“My heart is broken,” he sighed.

The star returned to work shortly after he regained his strength. He organised his sold-out one-man show, with the likes of Makhadzi joining him on stage. Some fans were worried about his mental state as he quickly returned to the spotlight. In the interview, he said he had to return to work because he needed to put food on the table.

"If I focus on just being heartbroken, I will go hungry. Sometimes you have to be strong. Losing someone you brought onto this earth, someone you were living for? You can never recover because every day as you live, every second, the pain does not go down,” he said. "When you eat, because this is someone you ate with, and they are no longer there. In such situations, you just have to give it to God,” he continued.

Shebeshxt gets new tattoo after accident

Chauke mentioned that he had a tattoo covered up after losing his daughter. The tattoo, which once read 'hustle hard, ' now reads as 'heartbroken.'

On his social media accounts, the singer had expressed his grief, saying he sometimes goes to bed with a heavy heart. In one post, he said that before he sleeps, he cries. In another post, he said he believes Onthatile is his guardian angel.

“She might not be with me physically, but I know she is with me in spirit. She is my angel. Onthatile, my daughter, my life.”
