South Africa’s favorite “Queen of the Decks,” Lamiez Holworthy, is drawing a firm line in the sand regarding public scrutiny of her body. After a high-energy performance at the Metro FM Music Awards 2026 pre-party in Umhlanga, Durban, the DJ found herself at the center of unfounded pregnancy rumors—and she isn’t staying silent.
The speculation began after a TikTok video of her set at Tiger’s Milk went viral. Despite the performance being a hit, comments quickly shifted from her skills to her physical appearance, coming just weeks after her high-profile wedding to Khuli Chana on April 11, 2026.
A Powerful Stand for Women’s Health
Lamiez took to social media to shut down the chatter, turning a gossip moment into an important conversation about women’s health and bodily autonomy. Her response highlighted the many reasons a woman’s body might change—reasons that are often private and medical.
“No, I’m not pregnant. It’s actually really sad that I even have to type this,” she wrote. “Our bodies go through the most like fibroids, cysts on our ovaries, endometriosis, and other issues. Sometimes it really is just that time of the month or simple weight gain.”
She ended her statement with a clear directive to the public: “STOP monitoring women’s wombs and policing their bodies! Thanks, bye.”
A Growing Movement Against Body-Policing
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly supportive, with many applauding Lamiez for her candor. By mentioning conditions like endometriosis and fibroids, she has sparked a wider discussion on the unfair expectations placed on women in the spotlight to maintain a “perfect” silhouette at all times.
