A video featuring South African dancer Skomota ignoring a woman’s greeting has sparked considerable discussion on social media, with many followers expressing disbelief at his unusual behavior.
The footage, which began circulating on July 22, 2026, showed Skomota inside the passenger seat of a car alongside an unidentified individual. A woman, not visible on camera, cheerfully greeted him, stating, “Dumela, ntate Skomota.” Instead of responding positively, the dancer directed an intimidating look at her before turning away.
His companion also seemed uninterested, as both remained dismissive while the vehicle appeared stuck in traffic. Though the woman and bystanders chuckled at the situation, the incident did not escape the attention of online viewers.
A different side of Skomota
For many fans, this reaction appeared completely out of character. Skomota has cultivated a public persona as someone who is relatable and warm—a dancer known for being friendly and embracing fans instead of turning them away.
Briefly News had previously reported on a contrasting occasion when the dancer permitted an admirer to kiss him, making the recent video even more surprising.
The video ignited a heated discussion online, with fans divided between defending Skomota and criticizing what they saw as a shift in his demeanor possibly due to fame.
