South African rapper Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, known professionally as Shebeshxt, is grieving the tragic loss of his nine-year-old daughter in a car accident.
The accident occurred on Saturday while Shebeshxt was traveling to a concert performance.
“My life will never be the same without your presence,” Shebeshxt wrote in a social media post. In addition to his daughter’s death, Shebeshxt also revealed he suffered serious injuries, including the loss of his foot.
The news has sent shockwaves through the South African music community. Fans and fellow artists have expressed their condolences and offered support to Shebeshxt during this difficult time.
The Limpopo Artists Movement released a statement on behalf of the artistic community, expressing their solidarity and offering comfort.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. Videos of the accident scene have been circulating online.
This is reportedly Shebeshxt’s second car accident this year, although he escaped unharmed in the previous incident.
Shebeshxt’s popularity has been rising in recent times, particularly after his song “Ke Di Shxt Malume” went viral on TikTok.
However, he has also been a source of controversy, with a video earlier this year showing him brandishing a firearm during a performance.
