Johannesburg - DJ Sbu has landed himself in more trouble.

The entrepreneur and creator of MoFaya Energy Drink was the source of a viral frenzy around Mpho Mokoena on Tuesday, a day before the matric results were released.

The controversial figure tweeted: “Mpho Mokoena 100 percent in everything. Seven distinctions. We visited his home to deliver his bursary.”

Along with the tweet, he posted a short video of Mpho, who thanked DJ Sbu for the bursary.

The video went viral and many congratulated the “genius” for getting 100 percent in everything, with his name trending on social media platforms.

Even the government’s Twitter account picked up on it and wrote: “Congratulations to #MphoMokoena of Alafang Secondary School in Katlehong for scoring 100 percent in all his subjects. #Classof2015”

It soon emerged that Mpho hadn’t received the marks DJ Sbu had quoted in his tweet and that he had actually matriculated in 2014.

Mpho told the Mail & Guardian that he'd received nasty messages from people saying he had lied.

“At first I was intrigued, but I’m generally a very private person, so while it was fun for a while, it has now become scary for me because people have been messaging me, accusing me of wanting attention, which is not the case,” he said.

This angered many on Twitter who felt that DJ Sbu had once again tried to garner attention for himself by misleading the masses.

He did this previously when he tweeted a fake Forbes Africa cover that had his picture on it.

Many felt that he had used Mpho.

DJ Sbu seems like an attention whore. He used the SABS logo despite not having the rights to it, and had Kaizer Chiefs players pose with his energy drink, without the club's approval. Apparently he's in quite a bit of debt.
 
I was talking to a friend about this yesterday. A simple bit of googling revealed exactly what is said in the article.
 
100% in everything. That's like believing porn site ads when they say there are girls in my area wanting to f.
