After heating up stages most of last year, amapiano dancer Kamo Mphela has got heat on social media for not being “versatile” enough.
Twitter can make you and sometimes break you, as dance queen Kamo found out this week.
She discovered her name on the Twitter trends list after fans said her dance moves had “gone stale” and were predictable.
Some even dragged her for allegedly stealing her moves, while others defended her.
“You guys are going to leave Kamo alone! Michael Jackson had three dance moves and every time he moon walked or 'hee hee'd' we cried, for ten years. Try to attempt Kamo's dance moves and when you realise that you look like you are stepping on cockroaches when you do it you will respect her,” Thato Mokoena wrote.
Kamo thanked her for the love and support.
I’m sorry I just had to 😂🙏🏾 https://t.co/hJiZjj3Bui

I just looooooove Kamo she has the dancing flair and is interesting to watch ALL the time, don't criticize just for clout, if you want her to expand her dancing career maybe a collabo with a multi dimensional dancer like Melita Ramokgosi from S1 Ultimate house vibe pic.twitter.com/PCsUcPX3AZ

Seeing Kamo trend and I Stan... Yall might say you want more from her but whatever she's been doing is making her boom.... A few months down the line you'll see the same dance moves with even bigger artists... Sometimes keeping to what you know works🤷♀️....
