'I would have to be Superman to have pulled of Mzekezeke' DJ Sbu

Sibusiso Leope, widely known as DJ Sbu, has once again denied being the person behind the masked kwaito artist known as Mzekezeke.

For over two decades, many South Africans have believed that Leope is the man behind the mask. In the 2000s, Mzekezeke emerged as one of the top-selling kwaito artists in the country before he seemingly vanished from the public eye.

DJ Sbu speaks about Mzekezeke

During a recent podcast, the 37-year-old musician and businessman acknowledged that many South Africans still believe he and Mzekezeke are the same person.

“It’s a beautiful compliment when people say that. It’s not a character, it’s actually a human being. We did some great work together with Mzakesman, but I know a lot of people still say it’s a rumour, they think it’s me, which I think is a beautiful thing; he was ahead of his time.

“I would have to be Superman to have achieved everything that Mzekezeke achieved, “DJ Sbu said when asked if he wasn’t Mzekezeke.

“Mzekezeke set the trend, that’s why you guys are wearing masks now. He wore a mask 20 years ago.”

After a clip was shared on social media showing DJ Sbu denying that he is Mzekezeke, many users urged Leope to stop discussing the Kwaito star, as most people have already figured out that he is the man behind the mask.

“Mzekezeke is a brand that he generates separate income from. We all know he is, but if he admits it, then Mzekezeke as a brand would die, which he is smart for not allowing,” he tweeted @KapshunGoCrazy.
“This is so outdated, let’s talk about something else please,” tweeted @enoskmoshapo.
