However, not everyone agreed with the star's lesson for success. A tweep criticised Shimza, saying that it is easy advice for him to dish out given that he has the resources.
But the DJ wasn't going to take the criticism lying down!
“Sit and look for all the excuses you want, good luck.
“Can’t debate this brother. Like I said, enjoy the excuses because you want to base your life on how others move. Again, enjoy your excuses,” replied Shimza.

The star has commented on the trials and tribulations of the Covid-19 pandemic in the past. In 2020, Shimza said that he had submitted a proposal to Minister Nathi Mthethwa for artists to be able to continue with events on television.
However, he said that he received no response.
“Supporting this would have meant less people would go out to watch their favourite artists perform because they would do it from the comfort of their home.
“This would potentially cut down on gatherings but at the same time not take from the artists income because we also need to work. Many might think entertainment is just games but many lives are suffering and are not being recognised, ra Zama but we need assistance. Ra kopa,” tweeted the star.
