WATCH: Mzansi Roasts Thuli Phongolo After She Tries to Twerk But Her BBL ‘Refuses to Jiggle’
South African actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo has once again set social media alight after a video of her attempting to twerk her curvaceous BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) went viral.
In the clip shared by entertainment blogger MDNNews on X (formerly Twitter), Thuli is seen dressed in a figure-hugging long gown paired with short heels at an elegant function. With a glass of wine and her phone in hand, she takes to the dance floor, attempting a few moves, including a brief attempt to twerk. The moment ends with her gracefully returning to her seat.
However, netizens had plenty to say about her dancing skills—or lack thereof.
The video sparked a wave of humorous commentary, with many pointing out her apparent difficulty in moving her enhanced curves.
Here’s what some users had to say:
@Ncebz05:
I guess BBLs are only for aesthetics 🤷🏿♂️
@Sir_Pixels:
I can imagine the pain of having something so useful….but u cnt use it….
@Bunny_BooII:
BBL becomes so strange when you start dancing, this ain’t even twerking. It would be so much out of proportion if she could twerk💀
@KMJ1_0:
The nyash looks heavy on her honestly
@NPBeats1:
She’s embarrassing herself, she doesn’t know how to dance
@JasonKyleJr:
The silicone is heavy, it’s refusing to jiggle. Cement straight. Eses
This isn’t the first time Thuli Phongolo has faced criticism for her moves on the dance floor. Late last year, shortly after undergoing her BBL procedure, a video of her dancing in a revealing outfit behind the DJ deck went viral. Users roasted her for what they called “unnatural” curves and stiff movements.
