Who is Rea Gopane?
The creative talent is a South African YouTuber and co-presenter of The Rea and Black Step Podcast. Similarly, he is the co-founder of an entertainment vlog known as Everything SA Music. On the platform, issues on South Africa's local music industry are discussed.
Although details about his childhood and family are not known to the media, it is clear that Rea Gopane's age at the time of writing is 22 years. Besides the fact that the young YouTuber is a rising star, nothing is known yet about his education.
What did Rea Gopane do?
He has made news headlines because of some of his comments did not go well with the personalities in question. Initially, Rea Gopane and Bonang Matheba had issues because of the defamatory statements he made. On the 9th of May, 2021, the former accused AKA of being on cocaine during one of Rea Gopane's podcast sessions. In his words, Rea said:
We know AKA, let’s not hide from the truth. Scoop (television presenter Scoop Makhathini) told us that AKA is on cocaine, and Bonang is the one that got him onto cocaine. Scoop told us that, so we know that AKA is into hard drugs.
His comment was based on a secret discussion with entertainer Siyabonga Ngwekazi, otherwise known as Scoop.
Reacting to the statement, Bonang Matheba noted that the podcaster's comments “were abusive, frightful and were intentionally planned to embarrass my customer and sabotage her standing.” Consequently, the slandered Matheba, speaking through her lawful group, asked Rea to apologise on every web-based media stage he has and also pay R500,000 in harm.
Considering all that happened, the young rising star Rea Gopane's apology was published. In a statement he released, he said:
I would like to express my sincere apology for everything I said on our podcast dated (May 9 2021). I would like to unequivocally retract my statements and apologise to all the parties concerned namely Ms Bonang Matheba, Mr Kiernan Forbes and Mr Siyabonga Ngwekazi.
Although he noted that he had learned from his mistake, the reverse seems to be the case. This is because, in November 2021, the young YouTuber Rea Gopane and JazziQ had another issue.
The podcaster stirred the waters again by claiming that Tumelo Manyoni, professionally known as Mr JazziQ, "sacrificed Mpura and Killer Kau...for the betterment of his career.” He mentioned this while speaking about meeting Young Stunna in a clip from his podcast.
