Tjo, Shebeshxt really is a threat to many celebs in the entertainment industry and not just ordinary netizens in our communities. The hip hop DJ Speedsta made a confession regarding the Limpopo-born rapper during his recent interview.
The 5FM radio host, who previously had nothing positive to say about Amapiano DJs in June 2025, made headlines on X (formerly Twitter) after an online user @ThisIsColbert posted a video of the musician admitting to being scared of Shebeshxt during his podcast interview on PNC with Mpho Popps.
"Yoh, Shebe is too real shame, listen, eh grootman I'm scared of you, no lie. Shebeshxt scares me, I won’t lie—I don’t want the smoke, I’ve got a little baby at home," Speedsta said.
