What a time to be alive and witness everyone's favourite cartoon character get a vernacular twist. Briefly News reported on the news that Zee Nxumalo was tasked to remix the iconic SpongeBob theme song, and she did not disappoint.

"You just released a hit song, but the song is crying for two minutes. I don't understand why."

MkSizwe27234 wrote:

"Sometimes I wish celebrities would research and read what they are getting themselves into. But good luck anyway, well done."

Official Beza was not impressed:

"I love the concept, the style of lyrics, but the beat is terrible. You can tell that the beat maker is still trying out amapiano. What a mess!"

Zoxo71071795 argued:

"Not to be a hater, but they could’ve also worked with uBabes because her son's name is Sponge."

Zee Nxumalo blasted for ignoring Thembi Seete

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to a video of Zee Nxumalo with singers Cici and Thembi Seete.

The Amapiano star was accused of giving the Boom Shaka member the cold shoulder and only focusing her attention on Cici.

Mzansi was not impressed with her conduct and called her out, saying she needed to humble herself, and she seemingly responded to the now-viral video.
