A video of the South African rapper Focalistic – real name Lethabo Sebetso has seemingly become a big topic on X (the social media platform previously known as Twitter). This comes after it was circulated on the platform, leaving several social media users divided in the comment section.
EDUCATION IS KEY: FOCALISTIC’S GRADUATION VIDEO TRENDS
The 27-year-old rapper has made a huge name for himself in the music industry with hits like Khekheleza, Wena My Dali, Banyana Ke Bafanba, and more. According to Fakaza News, during an interview with Riky Rick on LAB LIVE in 2020, he shared that he had graduated with a degree from the University of Pretoria, where he studied Political Science.
Social media users were recently left divided after seeing a video of the popular rapper in his graduation gown and hat. Taking to the comment section, a large number of social media users couldn’t help but state that Focalistic’s degree is useless in South Africa, especially without connections in the industry. Meanwhile, others congratulated the rapper and voiced that there is no such thing as a “useless degree”.“Doing a political degree but you not interested in politics. He is in music, he should have done something under musical career,” @SfisoMemela wrote.
“You need to have political connections to get a job after obtaining this degree,” @ Lethabo4991 commented.
“I hope he has connections because without them, that degree is useless 😓😓,” Tania84928222 said.
“Worst ever! I have that degree from UP and now I am working as a Credit Manager,” @TyNdi08 replied.
