"Let me step in to defend him. He is a producer of the well-known greatest Tsonga artist ."

@BennyMayengani added:

"Tsonga people often show their appreciation by throwing money at artists they admire while they’re performing on stage. This is honest, clean money!"

@ThisIzNino added:

"This is Hlavu The Gupta, a Tsonga producer and artist. He produces and DJs for Benny Mayengani. He actually makes more than this.. Not every black person with money is a criminal... Mlungu."

@KhozaLungi80856 argued:

"The way this money looks fresh, it seems like it was taken from the bank and straight to that bag."

@ThembarifumoS hit back:

"That one is not heist money but money from supporters. He's an artist."
