Sibusiso Ngwenya, the proprietor of Skinny Sbu Socks, has revealed that his well-known socks will be supporting the Grammy Awards this year.
Ngwenya is ecstatic to be named the American awards’ official sock partner. His socks would be included in the Grammy Awards gift bag, which was sent to 160 members of the American press, award presenters, nominees, and performers.
“We are quite happy about this relationship – considering the effects of the pandemic on our business, this has been a very long and expensive process.” We’d like to welcome potential sponsors to join us so that we can meet our Recording Academy administrative requirements.” According to the company’s website, Sandile Mbelekwane, the company’s Head of Finance.
Sibusiso launched his happy socks company in April 2013 and has overcome numerous challenges to get to where he is now. He made waves in 2018 when he asked for R5 million in funding in a TV appearance. This comes after he admitted to being depressed following a rough year of economic and personal losses. As a result, the entrepreneur was admitted to a psychiatric facility.
“To tell you the truth, I’m on the verge of quitting up.” I’ve spent everything I have, sold my car to rescue the business, and am now using my personal funds earned through speaking and sponsorships to expand this sock company. Things aren’t as opulent as they once were. I’m exhausted and depleted. “I’m simply passing through,” he wrote on Twitter.
Due to “the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron version,” the 64th Grammy Awards presentation, which was initially set for January 31, has been postponed. The event will be hosted for the second time by Trevor Noah.
