Lasizwe opens up on how YouTube led him into depression

“I was off YouTube for a year because YouTube was something that became a dark space for me because people started coming onto the platform for the wrong reasons. To drag other people, to clout chase … and that just left a sour taste in my mouth. I ended up in hospital. I was depressed. I was going through the most,” he said.

Speaking about his new show to TshisaLIVE, he said, “The show was inspired by this UK YouTuber who is also a content creator. Her name is Amelia Dimoldenberg. She has a show called Chicken Shop Date and I was a huge fan of it and how she executed it.”

“South African celebrities have never been seen as human … People see us as these stars and behind the stars it’s emotions and feelings and all of that stuff.”
