@TeeTouchza reacted:
"Nothing happened to this kid, man, he just got too big-headed in the early stage of his career. What's happening now is him getting to the realisation that he f*cked up the only chance he had of changing his family's life. That's why he looks like that, self-inflicted depression."
@Mickzo commented:
"He must come to Christ Jesus, surrender His life completely to His Lordship. He went through a lot and wants out."

"The reason why I never attended Maphorisa’s satanic concerts or events is that I was once a rapper and my dad told me to stop being a musician, and avoid politics, he emphasized by saying they perform rituals and be in mind. He was a deep-rooted ANC member, and he has now left politics."
@Wahaenne replied:
"Nothing's wrong with him. He cut his hair, looks neater, and like a kid again. As he should. Indeed, what happened in Nigeria changed him, but I hope it's for the better. He must seek God."
@Setadi_ commented:
"He said he saw Mpura le (and) Killa Kau."

"I agree. He must be spiritually cleansed; otherwise, he'll not live long."
@siphoBMjr responded:
"I might be wrong, but it’s very hard to come back from drugs. It takes time before you start looking normal again."
