At the afterparty for the Metro FM Music Awards 2026, tensions rose when Somizi Mhlongo reportedly opted not to engage with Ngizwe Mchunu.
Videos circulating widely from the occasion show Mchunu approaching a VIP section where Somizi was seated.
The atmosphere was tense right away, as Somizi declined to shake hands and is said to have instructed security to prevent Mchunu from entering the area.
This incident may relate to earlier public comments by Mchunu, which were aimed at Somizi and the LGBTQ+ community, contributing to ongoing friction between the two figures.
The footage captures Mchunu reacting with anger after being blocked from entering the VIP space, with reports indicating that he exchanged heated remarks prior to being escorted out by security.
The event has ignited varied responses online, with many users reflecting on the history shared by the two individuals.
