DJ Sumbody was murdered in 2022. His friend DJ Vettys was shot dead at Top Notch Lifestyle, officially known as Ayepyep, which Sumbody owned.
DJ Bettis, a close aide to the late DJ Sambodi who was shot and killed in 2022, is fighting for his life in the hospital after being shot on Monday.
“DJ Vettys was involved in an unfortunate incident in the evening when a shooting occurred on his way home from a gig,” his team said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Thankfully he survived, but is in a serious condition and is being treated at an undisclosed hospital.”
The shooting occurred at Top Notch Lifestyle, officially known as Epiep Sunnyside. This is the same venue that was owned by DJ Sumbody. Ipiep also had a branch in Cape Town.
The Klerksdorp native, whose real name is Austin Mokbun, had been close friends with the late Amapiano producer DJ Sambodi since they first met in a taxi in 2005.
“Before I was DJ Vettys, I was DJ Phologolo, but DJ Sumbody changed me,” Vettys said at Sumbody's memorial service.
“Sumbodi was the type of person that once you worked with him, you were off to work. He would teach you how to spend money,” Bettis said.
“A day doesn't go by without it.'' [him] We call, we meet, and if we don't have a chance to meet, he video calls us all day long. Aish, they took my best friend's life. ”
