Medical doctor and media personality, Dr Musa has spoken up against the ‘colourism’ tweets after he was dragged into the Maphorisa-Thuli Phongolo drama this week.  

Actress Thuli Phongolo and DJ Maphorisa trended this week after a series of photos and videos of them looking cosy together emerged on social media.

‘TROLL ACCOUNTS NEED TO BE STOPPED’

Tweeps were wondering if Thuli Phongolo would date a man like Maphorisa if he wasn’t famous or didn’t have any money.  

Though Phongolo’s fans argued that the actress looked happy and in love in the video with Maphorisa, tweeps stated that she is only dating him for his money.

They made this example with Dr Musa and his new wife, Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni and immediately dragged the newlyweds into the Thuli-Maphorisa drama.  

Social media users concluded that Mthombeni would not have won his wife’s heart if he didn’t have money as he is ‘not good looking enough’  

Mthombeni responded to the backlash in a series of tweets that read:  

“Waking up from my post-call nap to a divided country,”   

“I don’t bother anyone. I just wake up and love my wife. That’s all,” stated Musa.

OBSESSION OR JUST LOVE?  

While some tweeps alleged that Dr Musa is obsessed with his wife, others applauded the way he loves Laurie because it’s genuine.  

“Anyone who sees anything wrong with them has never loved or been loved.”  

“The fact that it seems so bizarre to you guys shows me how low the standard of love is on this app. I’m not gonna argue with y’all.”
