While many found the video funny, others lambasted the star for being “mean”, “degrading” and “rude”.
Somizi hit back, explaining that the group were friends and the comments were a joke.
“I hope you understand this was directed at my friends down there as a joke they would get. Thanks,” he told a follower.
When one follower said they were disappointed by Somizi's comments, he said the person needed to “heal”.
“Are you in that video? Are you one of my friends down there who are not offended by the joke? Why are you personalising this? Heal please. What and who you are has nothing to do with me.”
