Euphonik ridiculed for giving Black Friday financial advice
Euphonik’s latest attempt to give financial advice to the masses backfired on him on a big way.

The DJ was trying to prepare South Africans for Black Friday.
Euphonik is one of the most active celebrities on Twitter, even if his opinions are not always very popular. With Black Friday coming up this year, when many of the country’s biggest retailers dropping their prices by as much as 90%, the DJ took the opportunity to warn people away from spending money unnecessarily.
The DJ took to Twitter to write:
“Notice how there’s no Black Friday for share options, property, loans and mortgages. Issa Trap! All the s*** you should be putting your money into won’t be one sale or available cheaper. Produce don’t consume!!!!!”
This isn’t the first time that Euphonik has encouraged his followers to start looking at ways to diversify their investments.
However, his recent suggestion was not met with the reaction he might have hoped to get:
Notice how there's no Black Friday for share options, property, loans and mortgages. Issa Trap! All the shit you should be putting your money into won't be one sale or available cheaper. Produce don't consume!!!!!

@khuthadzom152 @Halledwito if we don't consume who's gonna buy your albums? If one creates the other with money consumes…I think everyone is a consumer of some kind.

However, many other people corrected Euphonik by suggesting that Black Friday can be beneficial if you were intending on buying certain items anyway:
There's some truth to this. But there's nothing wrong with looking for specials on things you normally buy anyway, like groceries or clothes you would have bought whether they were on special or not.

What is your take on Euphonik’s financial advice? Does he have a point or is he blowing hot air?
