Well-known rapper Lethabo Sebetso, popularly known by his stage name Focalistic, has the entire X (formerly Twitter) community feeling mixed reactions following a recent tweet which resulted in the musician being criticised online.
As someone who finds himself in the entertainment industry, the rapper is well known for showing off his good taste in fashion by donning some of the most trend-setting outfits during his social appearances.
However, when a recent picture of the star wearing a Louis Vuitton jacket resurfaced on X, some users were not impressed at all, especially since the cost of the jacket he was wearing cost approximately R100 000.
In contrast to this another well-known musician, DJ Mujava, popular for his hit song – Mugwanti wa Pitori – trended simultaneously, after the DJ appeared to be struggling in life.

In the wake of this users dragged Focalistic for wearing such an expensive jacket, yet failing to assist Mujava, and alleging that he (Focalistic) exploited Mujava by remixing one of his songs without consent and failed to pay Mujava a cent from the profits.
Modern day slavery and exploitation of us among ourselves.

Meanwhile, several others have come to the 27-year-old’s defence claiming that Mujava’s “drug” problem is not Focalistic’s concern.
Dont make mjava’s drug abuse focalist’s problem..every one has a choice to or not to…the druggie should clean up and sue focalist whats due to him..focalist never picked up a pipe and forced it into the druggie’s hands…nxa..the druggie smoked that 1st pull at own will🤬
