South African rapper, Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, popularly known as Shebeshxt, has been hit by a tragedy after he lost his nine-year-old daughter in a ghastly car accident.
According to reports, the musician was travelling with three passengers to perform at the African National Congress (ANC) Siyanqoba Rally celebration concert held in the Northern Limpopo province on Saturday when the car collided with a heavy motor vehicle and overturned.
Media reports also said apart from losing his daughter, the rapper also lost a foot in the crash.
Shebeshxt who confirmed the incident in a post on X on Monday, said:
“My life will never be the same without your presence.
My heart is so so broken. I’m trying to adjust the accident that left me in trauma and so many tears. Losing my foot was enough, not too lose my daughter,” he wrote.
The Limpopo Artists Movement (LAM) in a condolence message on Monday, said:
“We cannot imagine the pain and grief they must be experiencing, but we want them to know that they are not alone.
“The entire artistic community stands in solidarity with them, offering comfort and support.
“Shebe is not only a talented artist but also a valued member of our creative fraternity.”
The media say the crash was Shebeshxt’s second accident this year as he was involved in a crash in January which left him unharmed but his car was written off.
Shebeshxt’s popularity grew after his song “Ke Di Shxt Malume” became a big hit on TikTok and has been on a steady rise in the music industry in South Africa, but he has remained a controversial figure.
