Bathong, what's going on with these young Amapiano artists? Recently, the Biri Marung hitmaker has been making headlines on social media, and this time around, he was seen crying yet again at an airport.
The young star Tebogo Mashego, who was stuck in Nigeria on Friday, 19 September 2025, caused a buzz online after an X (formerly Twitter) user @Sabrina87223622 posted a clip of him crying after allegedly missing his flight in Ethiopia again.
Mashego kept on shocking many netizens on social media this past weekend as he went on a rant about how DJ Maphorisa did him dirty and further demanded a hefty R23 million from Scorpion Kings.

SA weighs in on Tebogo allegedly missing his flight again
Shortly after the video of the musician crying at the airport after allegedly missing his flight went viral on social media, many netizens decided to flood the comment section with their reactions to it. Here's what they had to say below:
@Zebedewu said:
"This is actually very sad. He must just be a Zama Zama or something. How do you miss your flight? Maybe he was still insulting Pory?"
@NKOSIKATI wrote:
"Ethiopian Airlines is a terrible flight. They don’t care about their customers; they only need money. Even if it’s just 1 rand, I will never use that airline."
@EgdremralgnE commented:
"Is this guy for real? Why wasn’t a return flight booked in the first place? Also, he can go to the flight desk and ask for a change to a later flight. He might’ve to top up, though."

@Sxyleera responded:
"That’s why South African men will always have a problem with foreigners. Another African brother would have found a way to make money in that country. Tebogo will never survive anywhere."
@MitchPlayer replied:
"I understand his erratic behaviour, but he is still a kid. Probably, this was his first international flying experience; he didn’t know that you can’t just arrive 30 minutes before your flight at the airport if you’re flying internationally. We’ve all had nerve-wracking experiences."
@lesirdee_ mentioned:
"Lmao, South African time will always get you in trouble. He definitely used South African time, meaning he's still comfortable, you're being bought a free ride home, and still misses the ride, what a wow."
