Toya Delazy’s bizarre London street performance leaves Mzansi divided (Video)

Toya Delazy’s London street performance sparks mixed reactions online

Toya Delazy has once again set social media abuzz after a video of her performing on the streets of London went viral.

The South African-born singer and rapper, known for her eccentric style and bold performances, caught the attention of many after controversial blogger Musa Khawula shared a clip of her latest act.

The video shows Delazy passionately performing outdoors in what appears to be a spontaneous street session, a move that left fans divided. W

hile some admired her fearlessness and artistic freedom, others criticized her performance style, calling it “bizarre.”

Toya, who recently celebrated three years of sobriety, has been known to experiment with unconventional live settings, often using her music to express emotion and individuality.

Her unique performances have become a signature part of her creative evolution, especially following the passing of her grandfather, the late Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, in 2023.

However, this latest clip has sparked yet another wave of conversation online.

One user, @woza_diego, poked fun at the video, writing: “When they say they’re going on tour to London, kanti, they mean pavement performances.”

Another commenter, @Nelisiwe94, shared her own take on the situation: “Guys, I told you before that dreams are easily fulfilled in London if you are an artist and Black. You can be mediocre in SA, but you can make a lot of money in London.”

Meanwhile, @by_greatest expressed embarrassment over the performance, saying: “Does she understand she is embarrassing us as a country? They are going to Google the language and find that it originates from SA. Yho abo Yoya Delazy into ebazenzayo!”
