DJ Shimza claps back at age comparison with Fikile Mbalula
Shimza has dismissed a viral comparison between himself and politician Fikile Mbalula.
The drama began after controversial influencer Chris Excel posted on X that the age difference between the two men was only two years, yet Mbalula looked much older.
“The fact that the age gap between Mbalula and Shimza is only 2 years is insane,” the tweet read.
Shimza, real name Ashley Raphala, quickly hit back, making it clear that the information circulating online about his age was incorrect.
“Can someone please help me change my age on Google. I’m not 41 and nothing close to what this thing called Chris says I am,” he wrote in response.

The DJ went on to reveal his actual age, confirming that he is 36, not 41 as listed on Google.
His reaction left many X users in stitches, with some mocking the misinformation while others applauded him for setting the record straight.
