Mzansi sent heartwarming messages to Samthing Soweto after the award-winning singer-songwriter confessed to struggling with depression on 17 June. This comes after the Akanamali hitmaker was trolled for his drastic weight loss in May.
Controversial podcaster Rea Gopane took to his Everything SA Music podcast on Tuesday 28 June to share that he feels Samthing Soweto is “manipulating people” with his depression.
Known for his controversial opinions about some of Mzansi’s top celebs, Rea Gopane weighed in on Samthing Soweto’s battle with depression, sharing that there was “something that he doesn’t like”.
“He sort of manipulates people…He’s in this whole depression phase and he’s so sad and he’s about to commit suicide and people just sort of like fall into that trap and end up sucking his d*ck,” said Gopane.
Commenting on Samthing Soweto’s latest single, Amagents, Gopane said he felt the song was “wack”.
“You were dope then, you’re not dope now. You fell off. Stop saying you are depressed cause you fell off.”
