Shebeshxt’s Latest Controversies: Drug Allegations and Gunplay Spark Outrage.
Limpopo-born rapper Shebeshxt, real name Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, is no stranger to controversy, but his recent actions have pushed him back into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. From a viral livestream exposing a suspected drug pipe to a shocking video of him brandishing a gun, Shebeshxt’s behavior has fans and critics buzzing on X. Is the “Ke Di Shxt Malume” hitmaker spiraling, or is this just part of his unfiltered persona? Let’s dive into the drama.
A Livestream Slip-Up Fuels Drug Allegations.
On June 24, 2025, a livestream clip shared by @MDNnewss on X sent shockwaves through social media. In the video, Shebeshxt is seen casually chatting with friends when he stands up, revealing what many netizens identified as a crystal meth pipe on the couch. A friend quickly tried to hide it, but the damage was done. X users like @BedworthTimes didn’t hold back, tweeting, “It’s always been obvious that Shebeshxt is on crystal meth. That livestream just confirmed the streets’ suspicions.” Another post by @LekompoConnect called it a “mistake” that exposed his “drug pipe.”
The clip, whether recent or old, reignited allegations of substance abuse, with some linking his erratic behavior—violent outbursts and reckless driving—to possible drug use. One commenter on X remarked, “Explains the violent outbursts, Meth is like that,” while others debated if the incident was staged for attention ahead of a new album. Shebeshxt has yet to directly address these claims, leaving fans divided between concern for his well-being and frustration over his choices.
Brandishing a Gun on Livestream.
Just days later, another video shared by @toiletChatrooms on June 26, 2025, showed Shebeshxt playing with a gun during a livestream, further fueling outrage. The clip, which has garnered thousands of views, shows the rapper casually handling what appears to be a firearm, prompting calls for accountability. One X user wrote, “ @SAPoliceService, there’s no way this guy is fit to hold a firearm license,” questioning the legality of his actions.
This isn’t Shebeshxt’s first gun-related controversy. In April 2024, he was filmed pointing a firearm at a fan during a performance, an incident he defended as a reaction to provocation. His history of firearm-related charges, including a 2022 attempted murder case and a 2023 incident where he allegedly fired shots in the air, has only heightened public concern.
A Troubled Star in the Spotlight.
Shebeshxt’s controversies don’t stop at guns and drugs. The rapper, who lost his nine-year-old daughter in a tragic car crash in June 2024, has been open about his grief, with some fans suggesting his behavior reflects a man struggling to cope. @Thee_Cherri tweeted, “Shebeshxt said he isn’t living for anything and life has no meaning since his kid passed on. He simply doesn’t care about anything guys.” Yet, his refusal to be seen as a role model, as stated in an older video, hasn’t quelled criticism. “I have a child of my own,” he said, urging parents to raise their kids right instead of blaming him.
rom slapping fans to a knife incident at a party, Shebeshxt’s pattern of violence has led many to question if his “gangster” persona is spiraling out of control. With a cult-like following of “Chillers” defending him, others are calling for authorities to intervene, citing public safety concerns.
What’s Next for Shebeshxt?
Shebeshxt’s raw talent and unapologetic style have made him a star, but his recent actions—drug allegations, gunplay, and violent outbursts—are testing even his most loyal fans. Is this a cry for help, a publicity stunt, or just Shebeshxt being Shebeshxt? As the rapper faces a 2022 attempted murder trial and mounting public scrutiny, the question remains: can he turn things around, or is he on a collision course with more trouble?
