FOCALISTIC: TWITTER TROLLS AND NEGATIVE ENERGY
Twitter can be a brutal space for all users, whether you’re a hitmaking artist like Focalistic or a regular user with a few followers, the app can be mentally draining for anyone. Focalistic has considered deactivating his Twitter account several times.
He complained that every time he logs on to Twitter, he’s met with trolls and negative energy from other users.
I’ve wanted to delete Twitter for the past 2 years. The only things that trend on here are negative news, it’s weird for me. I’m just a broer who enjoys making music dawg. I don’t have scandal, I like music and my friends. You guys want tea every day, he tweeted.
NO MORE INTERVIEWS FOR FOCALISTIC
Focalistic’s Twitter vent started when he expressed that he’s not going to do any more interviews because everything he says gets taken out of context. The Pitori Maradona, as he calls himself, wants to let his music do the talking, especially his upcoming album Sgubhu Ses Excellent 2.
I have stopped doing interviews because everything gets taken out of context and people enjoy making jokes more than making sense these days …If you want to hear what I think … wait for SGHUBU SES EXCELLENT 2, he tweeted.
CASSPER, MUSIC FOCUS AND TRAVELLING THE WORLD
Focalistic went on to tweet that he has no interest in responding to trolls who constantly try to pit him against Cassper Nyovest.
Local rapper Kwesta’s former business partner and manager, Nota Baloyi, went on a podcast to say that Cassper is jealous of Focalistic’s fame and that his ego can’t handle not being the centre of attention.

When recalling a conversation he had with Cassper, Focalistic expressed that he had no desire to retaliate to trolls, even though he wishes he could.
It’s funny how myself and Cass had this conversation 2 months ago … I told him I cannot clap back, I wish I could … people always try make me fight him on here. I have no beef. I have no girlfriend. I have no genre! We just make a lot of money as 18 area and tour the world, he tweeted.
Focalistic wants to keep his head down, focus on his music and travel the world doing so.
I came here for the music and nothing else … I never wanted to be famous, he said in a tweet.
