@Thubelihle12001 replied:

"Apparently, Triby is the mastermind, the first to do it, and Shebe got famous first!"

@maboss_1 responded:

"I really don't know about that. I have seen videos of Tribby giving flowers to Shebeshxt, but I have never heard anyone say, 'Here is the song that Tribby made before Shebe started rapping on Lekompo beats'."

@maboss_1 reacted:

"Fire. People don't give Shebe the credit he deserves. He influenced artists like Tribby Wadi Bhozza, and to be honest, people who don't listen to Lekompo can't tell the difference between Shebe and Tribby. That's influence."
