After embarking on a three-day social media rant where he made explosive allegations against his industry peers, Biri Marung hitmaker Tebogo G Mashego seemingly managed to get himself in more trouble.
Tebogo captured Mzansi’s attention a couple of days ago when he went on an exposé via his Instagram, revealing that he had been left stranded in Nigeria with no way to get back home.
He then quickly became the talk of the town as social media users were intrigued by the story, wondering how the youngster would find his way home. Fortunately, DJ Karri emerged as the hero of the day once again after he took matters into his own hands and reportedly bought Tebogo his return ticket.

Upon his return, and as promised while still stranded in Nigeria, Tebogo turned all his attention to a number of individuals including 2woshort and DJ Maphorisa. He also exposed that he had not been paid what he believes is a fair share in royalties for Biri Marung.
Furthermore, the upcoming artist went on to make an array of damning allegations. Among these, Tebogo alleged that DJ Maphorisa and MaWhoo had sexual relations before the singer stepped into the limelight. He further revealed that DJ Maphorisa and Prince Kaybee were not seeing eye-to-eye over Cyan Boujee, and claimed that all this information was revealed to him by 2woshort.
This behaviour by Tebogo caused concern among his fans and the public, and had users wondering whether he was under the influence of certain substances or not. Three days later, news of his arrest quickly made its way across various social media platforms, with users claiming not to be surprised due to his behaviour.
Clearing matters up, the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security cluster revealed that the artist was not arrested, but rather placed in the back of a police van as a de-escalation tactic, as he displayed violent and abnormal behaviour, and went as far as assaulting civilians.
