Shebeshxt, a Limpopo, South African rapper, is trending once more for the wrong reasons. His odd behavior was captured in multiple videos that became viral, and his use of drugs became a subject for discussion. The discussions were louder after a tube to smoke crystal meth was spotted with him on more than one occasion.

The rumors of drug consumption generated huge debate on social media. Most of his fans were worried about his well-being, while others thought he was turning out to be a bad role model for youth. Some also related his actions to individual issues that he might be going through, such as the death of his daughter.

Now, he has answered these rumors in the face. In a video on TikTok, he seemed to affirm that he indeed uses crystal meth. His response has evoked conflicting emotions throughout South Africa. Some view it as honesty, while others consider it dangerous and irresponsible.


Did Shebeshxt admit to using drugs?

In a recent TikTok video, he addressed the public directly. Instead of denying the claims, he appeared to confirm them. His tone in the video was sarcastic, and he seemed to mock the public interest in his private life.

"Who told you that I stopped smoking crystal? I still do."

He also signed off by calling himself “Shebeshxt maCrystal,” a nickname clearly meant to link himself with the drug. This statement was not taken lightly by many. Some viewed it as a joke, while others saw it as a clear and dangerous confession.

The timing of this admission is also important. It came just weeks after videos of him acting erratically began circulating online. In those videos, viewers claimed to see drug-related behavior and tools commonly used for smoking crystal meth. This gave weight to the rumors, and his video only added to the concern.

Does Shebeshxt want to be a role model?

In another video, Shebeshxt made it clear that he does not want to be seen as a role model. He spoke to parents directly, telling them not to blame him if their children follow his behavior.

“All these parents saying I'm a bad influence on their children, please remember that while your kids only started knowing me last year, you're the one raising them.”

He continued:

“It's none of my business if you're failing to raise your kids right; I have a child of my own.”

Shebeshxt is currently the focus of an emerging controversy. His candid confession of crystal meth use has left many people stunned and bringing about serious debate in South Africa. Although some people view him as truthful, others are concerned about the effects of his words and actions.

His unwillingness to be a role model has also attracted criticism, particularly from parents. His public image now is that of drug use, and many are concerned that this may have an impact on young fans. There is also concern for his mental and emotional well-being, particularly after the loss of a child.
