Shebeshxt’s car accident lands him in R2 million debt

by Limpho Nonkonyane

Limpopo rapper Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, famously known as Shebeshxt is reportedly in R2 million debt after a tragic car accident in June.

According to TimesLIVE, the ‘Twerka’ hitmaker was involved in a car accident which resulted in the death of his 8-year-old child while he and his partner sustained serious injuries.

Despite being on the road to recovery from the accident, the rapper is reportedly struggling to regain stability. According to the entertainment publication ZiMoja, the accident has left him in debt.

Speaking to the above-mentioned source, he said, “My biggest regret since returning from the hospital was listening to people advise me not to take gigs because they would sabotage me. I still owe many people who booked me before the accident,” adding, “I had R2 million in debt. I now have over a million after making R500k from The Return of Shebeshxt donations for my daughter’s foundation, which does not yet have proper documentation.”

Since artists are usually paid beforehand for gigs as it covers transportation and all other expenses when they don’t pitch they are sometimes required to return the monies to their respective event promoters so they don’t run at a loss.

He explained that as a result of his financial obligations, he has been forced to accept various gigs to help pay down his debt. In light of his current financial crisis, he is reaching out to the public for support and asking for donations to alleviate his situation. This has been a challenging time for him, and he hopes the community can lend a helping hand as he navigates these difficulties.

Since coming out with this plea, the online community has offered their support to the rapper hoping that he bounces back from this.
