L-Tido reacts to YouTube flagging Anele Zondo kiss

Anele Zondo, aka Ney The Bae, and L-Tido have been hogging the headlines since their interview on The L-Tido Podcast, and it's definitely not over some new music.

The two shared a deeply passionate kiss in the middle of their conversation on 16 July 2025, moving from Anele talking about her career and upbringing to locking lips on camera, and apparently, YouTube didn't approve.

The platform flags videos as inappropriate through computer vision and AI, and user flagging. Violations of YouTube's Community Guidelines are flagged, and the platform prioritises preventing the spread of such content.

It uses AI to identify and remove content that violates its policies, such as R-rated material, and can also scan for other violations, including hate speech and violence.

The platform has now flagged the video as inappropriate right at the beginning, and Tido wasn't too happy about that:

"Why is @youtube doing this??? For just a kiss, smh."

However, this was more than just a kiss, contrary to what Tido tweeted. Before their steamy exchange, he admitted to having a crush on Anele and initiated the moment.

Meanwhile, she seems to have enjoyed the moment too, after she posted pictures of the We Rollin' rapper's reaction, as reported by Briefly News. Could we have a new celebrity couple? Only time will tell.

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared Nota Baloyi's reaction to L-Tido and Anele Zondo's kiss.

The controversial podcaster said the kiss was a "satanic humiliation ritual" and slammed Anele for going through with it. However, some netizens were not having it:

LesediNxumalo asked:

"How is Anele Zondo's stunt when it was L Tido who initiated it? Why are women always the ones to blame?"
