The gloves were off between Euphonik and Sizwe Dhlomo on Twitter, as the two got embroiled in a spicy debate over the role privilege plays in certain opportunities.
It all started when Euphonik agreed with Diddy about everyone having the same 24 hours in a day in which to accomplish their goals.
We have the same 24hrs mates!!!

ROUND 1:
Enter Sizwe with a completely different viewpoint.
Yes but we don’t have the same resources... A lumberjack with an axe & one with a chainsaw both have the same daylight. Who chops more though? https://t.co/Jv9tcGw13G

Euphonik isn't very convinced and came back.
How do you obtain those resources? You work and you stop moaning about your circumstances and you realise and appreciate that we ALL start somewhere. So choose how you spend your 24hrs. https://t.co/OgZ5wP9Yuy

ROUND 2:
Sizwe brings out the files to prove his point.
Okay, remember when you tweeted that a bank didn’t want to finance one of your properties in Sandhurst & you felt that it was unfair? Were you moaning then? Did you not have 24hrs? We all start somewhere yes, but there’s a person who didn’t have to argue with a bank about such. https://t.co/l3pRAbRNE5

Euphonik admits to the incident but still isn't budging from his argument.
I was moaning yes but I didn't lie down I used the next 24 hrs to change that and didn't give up. Just because the answer is no today doesn't mean that's cast in stone and is how it will always be. I have the will to use my 24hrs to change my life. https://t.co/cksVlcEo0l

ROUND 3: Who is your money on?
Sizwe goes in for the knock-out but will it be enough to get Euphonik to agree to disagree.
The point here @euphonik is life is unfair. Some people start ahead of others. We need to appreciate this at all levels. This isn’t just about financial resources either BTW...

Life is very unfair but don't make people feel like it's unfair thus they must give up. I wasn't born Euphonik and I'm not even 10% of the person I want to be and I'm not going to give myself excuses or boundaries based on my current unfair circumstances. https://t.co/BH17bOOoFB

As we reached for more popcorn, it seemed like a little bit of an anti-climax because Sizwe hit Euphonik with a simple, "okay then" and dropped the mic.
Euphonik went on to debate his point with other followers on his page.
"I said what I said. How you take it is up to you man. I'm not in control of how you read into what I say. You took time out of your 24hrs to respond to what you think is a crazy tweet instead of putting into your own life and changing your circumstances," he told one follower.
The DJ added that he didn't just become an overnight success and had to work hard to get to where he is.
"I don't have family in the music or property business but I have gained friends through having a work ethic and putting in the long hours and effort necessary to gain the right contacts. Wasn't born Euphonik. Everything you see is built ground up. Wasn't easy and still isn't."
Who do you think took the match?
