South African Amapiano producer and DJ Mr JazziQ is transitioning into a new realm—this time not as a performer but as a television personality. He is featured in Showmax’s upcoming five-part docuseries titled Slay Queens, which is set to debut on 31 October 2025.
Showmax announced the series on Monday, 6 October 2025, along with a teaser trailer that sparked considerable attention on social media platforms. The streaming service described the program as “the untold story of South Africa’s slay queens — a five-part documentary that goes beyond the glam and explores the ambition, risk, and reality behind the lifestyle.”
In addition to Mr JazziQ, the docuseries features DJ and influencer Cyan Boujee and reality TV star Inno Morolong, both recognized for their vibrant personas and significant social media footprints. The show aims to explore the reality of the “slay queen” culture, often linked to luxury lifestyles, relationship dynamics with affluent men, and the quest for visibility and influence.
In the trailer, Mr JazziQ shares candid thoughts about slay queens and their relationship dynamics. He states, “You want to sit with me, sit. That’s a price. And also, if you’re going to take me home with you tonight, that’s also another price.” Such frank commentary has resonated with viewers, inciting discussions about the complexities and moral implications of this lifestyle.
Inno Morolong also contributes valuable insights into the ways slay queens engage with wealthy men and generate income, providing a glimpse into the often-overlooked aspects of this lifestyle. With these perspectives, Slay Queens is generating anticipation as one of Showmax’s most discussed upcoming series.
While some laud the series for its unfiltered portrayal of the subject, others have raised concerns about it potentially glorifying materialism and unhealthy social patterns. Still, it is evident that Slay Queens is poised to foster significant dialogue surrounding issues of gender, authority, and the societal expectations of contemporary success.
With Mr JazziQ’s engaging presence and grounded insights, the docuseries is expected to be both captivating and thought-provoking, providing a comprehensive view of a lifestyle that continues to influence South Africa’s cultural landscape.
