Well-known South African DJ and actress Thuli Phongolo is claimed to be in a dumping mood. It is alleged that Thuli M didn’t only dump her boyfriend DJ Maphorisa, but also dumped her group 2Faced, leaving Slenda Da Dancing DJ in limbo.
Sources close to the situation said Thuli M decided to cut ties with the former Afrotainment dancer after she felt she was bringing more energy and followers to the group than Slenda Da Dancing DJ.2FACED
“It wasn’t about money but it is about egos, who brings more followers and who pulls the crowd in their gigs. Thuli felt she can do more with her brand, like Uncle Waffles is doing wonders around the globe as a DJ and dancer. As a solo DJ she won’t end up splitting a cut to anyone after gigs,” said the source.Another source said: “Thuli is so arrogant that she throws her weight on anything that triggers her appearance. She’s going to fail as a solo DJ. On the Durban July weekend they weren’t booked anywhere as 2Faced due to her ego, thinking she’s a superstar. They attended like other guests. TXC [a female DJ group] are doing well. Slenda Da Dancing DJ’s credentials can be traced and she has a musical background. She will survive in the industry as a solo DJ.”
