No one would blame house DJ Lamiez Holworthy for wondering how her name suddenly came into the fray after Afro-Pop musician Vusi Nova revealed recently that he will no longer be known by that name.

Apparent comparisons were being made thanks to S'Nova's new look and The Tattooed Queen, whose signature permed-hair look has become synonymous with her brand.
