Limpopo-born rapper Shebeshxt has broken his silence after topping the trending charts on social media over a knife incident at a nightclub.

Shebeshxt explains viral knife video

Shebeshxt’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi, told Daily Sun that the footage doing the rounds on social media is from a skit.

"I've taken issue with Mr Chauke regarding the video and he has informed me that this is an old video. He was with his friends in the Tzaneen area and the person perceived to be a victim of stabbing by him is actually his friend, a fellow music producer, and they were shooting content for a music video skit," he said.

The legal representative added that the knife that Shebeshxt used was a prop.

"He didn't hurt anyone that day and that was not even a real knife. Unfortunately, members of the public took it otherwise," said Ramusi.
