A TikTok trend almost gave Somizi Mhlongo's super fan a heart attack. The trend which grew in popularity last year, saw people pranking others by saying their favourite star had died. This woman's grandson made her world spin when he joked that Somizi Mhlongo had passed on. It was her response however that had Somizi chuckling and he had to meet her to get answers.
The woman's grandson said Somizi had passed on and when pressed for answers, he said it was a car accident. The old lady says he was "bewitched by that boy" which saw Somizi laughing and demanding answers as to which boy she was referring to.
Watch the video below and two others Somizi shared:
He invited esteemed guests and the public to celebrate him for his birthday. Somizi's golden jubilee will take place on the 28th January 2023 at the Sun City Super Bowl. Somizi has also revealed that he will be celebrating 4 decades in showbiz.
"Eish I wanted to share this on Monday but the excitement is too much to hold. So I’m turning 50 in December….. and there was no way it was gonna be just an ordinary day…. God has been and still is amazing to me and I wanna celebrate in a big way…. You guys have also played a huge role in my life and career and still here with me moving forward….. so I called all my friends in the arts industry ( music, theatre, television, sports, politics ) to join me on stage on the 28th January 2023 @suncityresortsa Super Bowl in front of thousands of my supporters watching live. It’s gonna be a concert to remember for years to come. Also celebrating over 4 decades in showbiz….. booking info and line up to be revealed soon….. stay tuned."
Somizi had also said he would be married when he turns 50. But that is not looking to happen. He was rumoured to be dating his friend Pholoso but Somizi shut down those rumours saying Pholoso is married and has a baby.
“My heart is sore. I am hurt. Yesterday, there was an article written about me. Usually I don’t care, I don’t explain but this time because certain things can be damaging,” he said.
Somizi said Pholoso is married and he has a wife. “There’s a story about me that I am getting married and a wedding is in plan and I’ve paid 1.5 million for lobola to Pholoso. I don’t have an issue with that because I'm used to people writing sh*t about me. They only got one thing right, that I know Pholosho. Pholosho is married, he’s got a wife who’s pregnant, and we are just friends.”
“They are causing a rift between me and my partners. I have two people that I was dating, one has money and the other doesn’t have money but I have to explain to these two people what’s going on. And I was still going to choose between the two of them, which the obvious case is that I am going to choose the one with money but I have to be decent and tell him first that I was going to leave him. Now he’s left me first because of the City Press story. City Press ruined my plan,” he added.
