Popular South African Media personality, DJ Lamiez Holworthy, has finally responded to a viral TikTok, Zulu girl who cautioned her fans for saying she looks like the DJ.
Lamiez who seems to be fed up with the whole resemblance topic has come out with receipts from 2018 to 2018 after Zulu girl keeps dragging her fans.
How the whole issue started on social media.
A scroll through @ruralzulugirl_stylist’s TikTok page will definitely have one asking whether DJ Lamiez Holworthy has an identical twin sister. The lady who rocks Lamiez’s style, down to her tattooed arm and signature hairstyle, had many thinking she was either inspired or had an obsession with the media personality.
Just like many celebs, including Sol Phenduka and AKA, who have doppelgangers online, fans started tagging Lamiez, hoping the two would play along and even meet up one day.
However, @ruralzulugirl_stylist had no kind words for fans who pointed out the obvious resemblance. South Africans jumped into her comments section, noting the woman’s likeness to the DJ. To everyone’s surprise, the woman lashed out at them. In many of her viral responses, she even used profanities to attack the commenters.
After noticing that the trend had gone on for too long, Lamiez Holworthy broke her silence, bringing receipts. The media personality noted how she was okay with the resemblance and thought it was cute until she noticed the nasty comments towards fans who pointed out the resemblance.
Taking to her Facebook page, the Metro FM DJ said she had ignored the matter for a while but had to set the record straight. Lamiez said she thought the woman was being cute at first, but did not like how she was lashing out at fans who pointed out the similarities.
She wrote:
“It creeped me out a bit, but overall I found it flattering. I think it’s just getting out of hand because this lady has now resorted to swearing at people who innocently mention her looking like me, and every response has my name along with a vulgar slur in it.”
Lamiez also proved that the lady had started imitating her style after she had become a famous DJ. She shared pictures of how @ruralzulugirl_stylist had copied her outfits long after she had rocked them. She posted a collage and said
“Please kindly pay attention to the dates of these posts. 2018 vs 2020 Again, my issue isn’t the fact that she mimicked me; my issue is in her blatantly denying it, swearing at innocent people and alluding to the fact that I copied her instead. Where’s the hair and tattoos in 2020?”
