Social media users flooded the comments with a range of reactions. While some revisited the advice that seasoned broadcaster Tbo Touch had given him, others argued that Shebeshxt was beyond saving, and jail would not scare him straight.

Here are some of the comments:

@LincolnLumbe said:

“Imagine throwing away a lucrative career because you can’t control your emotions.”

“If November passes and he still hasn't gotten bail. I'm sorry to say this, but those who booked him will see him next year.”

@nkabindenm remarked:

“Let's hope that the law will teach him some serious lessons about respecting the lives of other people. The young man seems to be very disrespectful, even towards his own supporters.”

@chiefcebo_ shared:

“I am very disappointed. He made a name for himself. He has a history of crime and poverty. Made money and destroyed the very same name built through a populist and hooliganism approach.”

@Thartch_ said:

“I see no remorse but impatience.”

@Sabrina87223622 claimed:

“As his fans, we've tried for him. We gave him enough love, care and support, but it seems like he is more than happy to please his haters than his lovers.”
