It seems like the drama never ends in the music industry. Just when we thought things were simmering down, Focalistic and Shebeshxt found themselves in a compensation controversy. However, Focalistic took to Instagram to clear the air and put an end to the rumours.
Firstly, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, Focalistic’s one-man show, the Straata Nation Address, was a massive success. But does that mean he owes Shebeshxt a paycheck? Focalistic doesn’t think so.

He pointed out that the show’s popularity was largely due to his own performance, which was trending on TikTok. So, sorry, Shebeshxt, but it seems like you may have overestimated your contribution.
But Focalistic didn’t stop there. He went on to explain that he never intended to disrespect Shebeshxt. In fact, he considers him a friend and has been supporting him all along. Focalistic even offered to pay Shebeshxt for his performance, but Shebeshxt insisted on doing it out of love. Talk about a true friend!
So, where did this compensation controversy come from? Well, it turns out that Focalistic’s former manager was the one in charge of arranging the line-up for the show. When Shebeshxt was included, Focalistic’s manager asked how much he wanted to be paid. But Shebeshxt declined the offer, opting for a gesture of friendship instead.
At the end of the day, Focalistic made it clear that he had no beef with Shebeshxt. He values their friendship and is willing to fix any misunderstandings. Whether it’s money or something else, Focalistic is ready to make it right.

“That is my dawg. Maybe I didn’t post him the way he wanted me to post him. Before anything else, I have been posting him; he’s my dawg, and we will never fight. No matter what podcasts can do, we will never fight.
“Sorry, dawg, if you feel like you were disrespected. You know I will never disrespect the streets. At the end of the day, we are all hustling for the same thing. It will always be love from me,” he said.
“With regards to payments, I asked him how much he wanted. I wanted to pay. Those who know me know I pay for people to perform at my shows, so he wanted to do it out of love, and I respect that, so I don’t know.
“The problem is that people love beef, and I don’t have it. I love him a lot. Whatever he wants, I get it. If he wants money, he must tell me; let’s fix it. I’ve never imagined myself fighting Shebe.”
So, let’s put the drama aside and focus on the love and hustle that these artists share. After all, isn’t that what the music industry is all about?
