One of the Limpopo star's lawyers, Advocate Isaac Mokgopo, revealed to Daily Sun on Tuesday, 30 December 2025, that the news of an urgent bail application is fake news.

Mokgopo stated that the Polokwane High Court is currently in recess and will resume in the second week of January 2026.

"What we can confirm is that we intend to approach the High Court regarding Mr Chauke's bail hearing," added Mopgopo.

According to media reports, Shebeshxt is expected in court on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, for more investigations.

Social media users react to the rapper's defense

@SneghNtlonze said:

"What is urgent about someone who has been in jail for close to two months? No prospect of success at all. Lawyers are milking his money. The magistrate was legally sound in his judgment that his team failed prove exceptional circumstances as required under Schedule 6."
