Shebeshxt, a well-known rapper in South Africa, recently made waves on social media after being seen with his girlfriend, Kholofelo Chuene, at an event. While the two have reportedly been in a long-term relationship, the appearance of their photo sparked intense reactions online, with netizens weighing in on Kholofelo’s appearance, claiming she looked older than Shebeshxt. The debate, fueled by differing opinions, quickly escalated and drew attention for both positive and negative reasons.
Shebeshxt, who has been recovering from the emotional turmoil of losing his daughter in a tragic car accident, seems to be bouncing back into the public eye. After hosting an anticipated one-man show, the rapper premiered his documentary and concert, offering a glimpse into his troubled life and career. However, instead of focusing on his achievements, the conversation was sidetracked by speculation about his relationship with Kholofelo.https://twitter.com/Zikamnyamane/status/1840265510706962841?s=19
A photo shared by MDN News on X (formerly Twitter) showed the rapper looking dapper in a tuxedo alongside Kholofelo, dressed for the event. While some were impressed by Shebeshxt’s recovery and return to public life, many seemed more concerned with his girlfriend’s appearance, with harsh critiques emerging.
Some social media users suggested that Kholofelo appeared significantly older than Shebeshxt. Comments like “She’s older than him” and “He is dating his ancestor mos” dominated the online conversation. These remarks ignited a debate about age differences in relationships, and whether Kholofelo’s looks were really worthy of such scrutiny.
Despite the negative comments, there were a few voices of support. One user, jack_setsiba, defended Kholofelo, pointing out that she recently lost her daughter and is still grieving. “A mother who buried her daughter a few months ago; she’s still grieving, bathong,” he wrote, calling for compassion rather than criticism.
Other users commented on the photo quality, suggesting it was not flattering and that Kholofelo looks more beautiful in person. ItumelengMashau, for example, said, “The quality of this picture is bad; this girl is beautiful.”
On the other hand, some even speculated that the woman in the photo might not be Shebeshxt’s girlfriend at all, but rather his mother. This theory was put forward by a user named zulu_fly, who wrote, “I think that’s his mom. The girlfriend is a bit darker in complexion and smaller. This hate parade on this guy needs to stop.”
The event itself was meant to be a significant moment for Shebeshxt, marking his comeback following months of mourning and recovery. As previously reported, the rapper lost his daughter, Onthatile Chuene, in a car accident that he and his girlfriend survived. The tragic accident, which only claimed Onthatile’s life, deeply impacted the rapper, and his documentary reveals the emotional journey he has gone through since then.
Shebeshxt’s latest public appearance has left social media users divided, with many focusing on irrelevant aspects of his personal life rather than celebrating his resilience and professional accomplishments. Nonetheless, the rapper continues to move forward, despite the noise surrounding his relationship.
