South African rapper Shebeshxt has made a name for himself in the music scene but not always for the right reasons. Alongside his breakout success and street credibility, he's developed a shocking track record of violent behavior, especially toward his own supporters. From slaps to bottle hits, and even pointing a gun into a crowd, Shebeshxt has built a reputation that’s as chaotic as his lyrics.
Let’s take a look at eight times fans literally caught his hands and more.
1. November 2023 – Bottle Thrown at a Fan
During a live performance, Shebeshxt was caught on camera throwing a bottle at a fan in the audience. The clip quickly went viral and sparked concern over the rapper’s unpredictable behavior.
2. December 2023 – Swearing at a Fan on Stage
A month later, another video showed him yelling and swearing at a fan who had apparently thrown something at him. The verbal assault drew backlash online, prompting him to issue a public apology.
3. December 2023 – Public Apology (Again)
Following the swearing incident, Shebeshxt apologized and claimed that while he was provoked, he regretted reacting the way he did. Still, the apology didn’t do much to slow the string of violent moments that followed.
4. March 2024 – Punching a Fan Named Tshepo
Things escalated in March when he was seen punching a man reportedly named Tshepo after the man allegedly threw something at Shebeshxt’s car. He later asked for forgiveness and claimed it wouldn’t happen again.
5. April 2024 – Points a Gun at a Fan
In one of the most disturbing incidents, Shebeshxt was recorded pulling out a firearm from his bag and pointing it at someone in the crowd during a show. A member of his team quickly intervened, but the damage was done. He later defended himself, saying the crowd was provoking him first.
6. April 2024 – Admits to His Violence in Interview
During an interview with L-Tido, Shebeshxt openly admitted that he doesn’t hit fans “for fun,” but rather when they get out of line. He claimed he still loves his fans but needed to “wake them up” when they misbehave.
7. February 2025 – Slaps a Fan While Leaving an Event
Fast forward to 2025, and another video surfaced of him slapping a fan while trying to leave a packed venue. The incident raised more eyebrows and added to the growing list of assaults
8. February 2025 Slaps Another Fan Days Later
Just days after the first slap, another fan caught a similar fate. A second video emerged showing Shebeshxt smacking someone else at an event, once again triggering public outcry.
From bottle-throwing to brandishing a weapon, Shebeshxt’s violent encounters with fans paint a disturbing picture. And yet, despite it all, people still pack his shows and scream his name. It’s a troubling reflection of how fame can overshadow accountability. In any other space, this kind of behavior would have consequences but for Shebeshxt, it seems to be part of the brand. The real question isn’t why he keeps doing it it’s why we keep letting him.
