On Wednesday, 21 January 2026, X user @ThisIsColbert shared a video of Slik Talk reacting to the footage of Bash, which was allegedly recorded in Bryanston. In his response, Slik Talk questioned Bash’s emotional reaction and suggested that crying publicly over Ntandokazi showed a lack of composure.

He openly mocked Bash for appearing overwhelmed by the break-up, questioning whether this was his first relationship with a baddie and why he seemed so deeply affected. Slik Talk also pressed Bash to explain what led to the split, especially since the couple had only recently announced their engagement.

Taking things further, Slik Talk speculated about rumours circulating online about the split. He suggested that Bash’s emotional state could be linked to unverified claims, including allegations of pregnancy and infidelity, though he admitted that none of this had been confirmed. Still, he argued that the intensity of Bash’s reaction pointed to something deeply hurtful behind the scenes.

“There are rumours that say that the girl is pregnant, and apparently, it's not Bash. Yes, we don't know, we can't confirm, but it seems like what she did really hurt this guy because there's no way you will be crying on the side of the road, hands on your face, shirt off. The shirt off is what surprised me the most, like why is your shirt off on a highway, on the side of the highway and crying? What happened? Bash, tell us more. I wanna know the full details,” Slik Talk asked.

Slik Talk's video drew mixed reactions from social media users. Some sympathised with Bash, saying his breakdown reflected emotional pain that many men silently endure. Others cracked jokes about the situation, while a few questioned whether the break-up was genuine or clout chasing.

Here are some of the comments:

@OmnipotenttHP argued:

“The guy is probably crying because he thought he was gonna be a dad. The emotional & psychological damage done here is too much. I'm sure the break-up part is water under the bridge. Any man would mostly go through this.”

@Ndiks17 joked:

“lol 😂 guys come on, what if he was just crying, thanking the Lord.”

@vjshylock said:

“It’s honestly heartbreaking seeing another man like that.”

@ButhiSipho asked:

“Is this thing even happening, or are these people just using this to get internet attention? Anything is possible these days.”
