Sjava caught strays on social media after Makhadzi shared a picture of a man she accused of hacking her upcoming album, A Miracle Child.
WHY DID SJAVA CATCH STRAYS?
The Ghanama hitmaker posted on her official X (formerly Twitter) account that the man in the picture failed to upload the album on digital music-selling platforms after hacking it. After Makhadzi posted four snaps of the suspect on her feed, Sjava’s name made its way to the trends list.
Sjava is known for rocking dark sunnies with round frames, a bushy beard, and sporting an Afro. Because of the striking resemblance between the alleged hacker and Sjava, some hilariously claimed the man was another Sjava from Venda, where Makhadzi comes from.
In her caption, Makhadzi further said she hoped Sjava’s lookalike wouldn’t leak her whole album before 4 October – a date the star plans to drop the entire album. Many South African artists drop their new music around that time.
MAKHADZI OFFENDS DEAF COMMUNITY
Makhadzi made headlines for mocking SA Sign Language in a recent video, reports IOL. Members of the local deaf community slammed the Limpopo-born singer for her “unacceptable and harmful” behaviour.
She also trended when she bagged the BET Viewers’ Choice: Best International Act award. She competed with artists such as Bellah, Cristale, Duquesa, Holly G, Jungeli, Oruam, and Seyi Vibez. Khadzi cried tears of joy when she was handed her gong at the BET red carpet pre-show.
SJAVA LOOKALIKE SPOTTED AT FIFA WORLD CUP
Sjava also trended when South Africans spotted his lookalike at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Briefly reported that the singer’s doppelganger appeared on TV during a live match. Someone quickly took a screenshot and shared it on social media. Many roasted Sjava, claiming he was doing his side hustle at the international soccer tournament.
While some claimed the snap posted by Makhadzi was photo-shopped, others roasted the KwaZulu-Natal singer. Some even jokingly claimed he sabotaged their fave.
