Sbusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope got candid about his reckless spending when he was younger, which led him to downgrade.
In a recent episode of The Penuel Show podcast, Sbu recalled an expensive lifestyle and bad financial decisions.
“When it comes to finances, I've fallen and I've got myself to blame and nobody else. From those Porches and just that lifestyle. I've lived the lifestyle, I've travelled, I've driven all these great cars, I've lived the nicest life, the celebrity life, partying and just throwing parties ... as you grow older you know better and do better ... I was overspending.
“I looked richer than I was,” he added.
He has now acknowledged his mistakes and is living comfortably as an entrepreneur.
“I wouldn't say I've played the game and I've passed, like I'm some guru. I'm just walking my journey and the people guiding me, that I cannot touch, and the higher power, God, made me feel comfortable to live the way I'm living now, making the decisions I'm making. I've learnt in business.”
