As soon as Rogue tweeted the video, many fans & celebrities were scared of the possibility that Nomuzi could have been seriously injured or even worse, dead. A day after the tweet was sent, Nomuzi came back to confirm that the video was staged as part of a campaign between herself, Volkswagen and Drive Dry.
Even though the message of the video was supposed to be positive, many fans chose to ignore it because of how ‘insensitive’ it was and a couple of hours later, Nomuzi is still facing backlash from fans.
Take a look at some of the comments below:
In 2010 I lost 5 family members in a car crash. I don’t find this funny. Maybe I’m just triggered.

In a country where reality beats fiction all the time when it comes to how horrific things are, ain’t nobody has an appetite for shock tactics. That marketing team, VW and #Nomuzi failed to “read the room”. Bad BAD idea.

some of our families died in accidents so we relived this. I am so disappointed more than anything Nomuzi because I was one of those who prayed for u all day yesterday. I understand what ull tried to do but it was in bad taste. Take us into acknowledgement. #Moozlie #VWDriveDry
