12 hilarious reactions to Shimza asking Twitter to change his name
Don't worry, Shimza, we were listening.

Popular muso, producer and event's organiser Shimza (DJ Shimza) has formally requested that fans drop the "DJ" when they refer to him.
The star has been pushing for the change for several months but took to Twitter on Thursday to let everyone know he was serious about it.

Really don’t understand what’s so difficult about what I’m saying lol, I don’t want the prefix Dj attached to my name anymore 🤷🏾♂️

Shimza explained that he wanted to be known as more than just as a DJ, especially since he also produces and does events.
But the streets weren't having it, and soon his mentions were busier than Park Station.
The reactions varied from understanding him loud and clear to butchering the name all together.
Here are some of our faves:

But how will we know what he does?
it's difficult when a medical doctor wants to be referred to as Mr or just the first name. Hope you understand.
