Mzansi reacts to Mashego's latest picture

In a previous report from Briefly News, SA peeps expressed concern for Tebogo Mashego after a photo without his signature hairstyle had social media buzzing.

People went on social media on Friday, 7 November 2025, to comment on the musician's viral pic. One user said, "Whatever happened to Tebogo G. Mashego in Nigeria is not ordinary — the boy is no longer the same.

However, some people beg to differ as @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."
