Mohale Motaung has sparked lively reactions on social media after seemingly throwing subtle shade at his ex-husband, Somizi Mhlongo, following praise for the designer’s work at the 31st South African Music Awards.
The moment played out after Makhadzi shared a gratitude post celebrating Somizi, who designed her dramatic white gown for SAMA 31. While fans applauded the collaboration and flooded the comments with praise, Mohale appeared to respond indirectly by posting a sarcastic video of a woman over-the-top praising her fashion designer.
Almost immediately, social media users began reading between the lines, with many convinced that the post was a deliberate dig at the media personality-turned-fashion designer. Memes quickly followed, with users joking about how obvious the shade seemed.
One user commented, “I can smell the shade coming from this tweet 😭,” while others laughed it off, describing the reaction as classic sarcasm that didn’t need much interpretation.
The discussion intensified when controversial commentator Nota Baloyi weighed in, adding his own provocative take by warning, “Maybe you should warn @MakhadziSA that tax troubles always follow your ex’s friends…,” a remark that further fueled debate.
However, not everyone sided with Mohale. Some users openly criticised him, suggesting the post came from a place of jealousy rather than humour.
One comment read, “O nale jealous wena, @somizi has moved on chief, or ke tlala tweeting?” implying that the shade was unnecessary given how far things have moved on.
