Samkelo Shezi, the son of veteran Durban musician DJ Tira and an influencer in his own right, has once again set social media ablaze. The musician found himself at the center of a viral storm this week after sharing a photograph of himself wearing ladies’ underwear.
The image, published on December 12, 2025, rapidly circulated online, triggering widespread confusion and discussion among South African users. The public is grappling with the intent behind the post:
- Was it a playful joke?
- A strategic move for viral content?
- Or an attempt to convey a personal message?

The Social Media Reaction
The controversy gained significant traction after a popular X user, @mashesha, reshared the photo on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, questioning the motivation: “Yi content nale?” (Is this content?).
This question unleashed a flood of shocked, confused, and humorous responses from users:
- Shock and Confusion: Comments ranged from “Yini manje le?” (What is this?) to “Kwenziwani manje?” (What’s happening?).
- Speculation: Some users offered supernatural explanations, with one suggesting, “Udlisiwe lo,” (He might be bewitched).
- Relationship Hint: Others pointed toward a possible relationship angle, speculating, “There’s a woman involved.”
