In the wake of his newfound celebrity status, South African musician Lehlohonolo Chauke, fondly known as Shebeshxt, is capturing headlines with a surge in bookings and lucrative endorsement deals.
Several weeks ago, Shebeshxt made waves as his interview on the Podcast and Chill with MacG soared to one million views within 48 hours, thrusting him into the limelight. This achievement sparked widespread interest, with many seeking connections between his music and his previously private life.
The latest headline-grabbing move by Shebeshxt involves a significant collaboration with the renowned Italian-based wine company, Lamborghini Wines. Announcing the endorsement deal on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he shared, “Ka Time, Ka Nako! That moment is now. President ya ma 2K looking and feeling good in a suit. I present to you a gift box brought to you by Lamborghini. Get champagne glasses, and let’s pop. One day retlo popa. Twerka!”
Shebeshxt’s post garnered thousands of comments and reactions on X. Lamborghini Wines, established by Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1968, has swiftly become one of the world’s top-selling wine brands.
Mzansi, the affectionate term for South Africa, erupted with congratulatory messages on social media, celebrating Shebeshxt’s success. Fans expressed their joy and support, with comments like “@molefaneK wrote: ‘Lecowza stand up homeboy is on the fast lane. Lebowa 🐄 produced a star!!!'” and “@WakandaMc1 wrote: ‘Dope 💯❤️Keep on Hustlin young Prince.'”
The overwhelmingly positive response reflects the artist’s rising prominence and the enthusiasm of fans for his continued success.
