"Did aliens abduct the Rasta we know and love?"

This was the question that dominated the TL over the weekend after some of Rasta's latest paintings made their way onto Twitter.

Rasta found himself topping the Twitter trends list but unlike in the past, it was for the right reasons on Sunday. 

Fans were never ready when they discovered that the painting Rasta was busy with actually resembled the portrait he was using to copy from. 

In case you've been living under a rock and don't know why Rasta doing a great job was an issue for Twitter, well its because in the past he's missed the mark on several occasions. These include paintings of  Mama Winnie Madikizela Mandela, Akhumzi Jezile, Oliver Mtukudzi and many others.

But his latest painting of Sjava - which shockingly looks like Sjava - had fans thinking it may have been Rasta's lucky day.  Then, he went and posted another painting of an unknown man who also looked like the picture he was referencing from.  

That's when tweeps knew: Iets is nie reg nie!

It was just too good to be true... or to be drawn by Rasta apparently.

The reactions were hilarious!
