However, Mzansi has been more than puzzled after a viral video of him selling eggs from the boot of his car went viral. Did he blow his Idols SA jackpot? However, in the mix of things, the celebrated musician who has since found his feet in the entertainment industry has cleared the air after the viral video flooded social media.

After all, it seems he has joined a host of A-list celebrities who are street hustlers. He joins the likes of controversial dancer Zodwa Wabantu and Lilly from Uzalo, who hustle in the streets selling eggs and hot dogs, respectively.

The Idols SA winner has not blown his cash prize from the singing competition. He is just ensuring he has more than one thing going on for him. Speaking to the Daily Sun, Thapelo Molomo revealed that selling eggs was another income stream for him. He has it that he does not want to rely on just one source of income.

“It’s a motivation for the people in the music industry to say, let’s try other ways of getting money because it’s difficult to get it right every time in the music space,” he said.
