Robot Boii finally silenced the critics by releasing the full footage of his controversial Paris Fashion Week performance.

Responding to the backlash, Robot Boii, real name Mzwakhe Mbuli Junior, shared a full-length clip of his performance on 10 March 2026, featuring other dancers in Maxhosa gear and gave the performance of their lives surrounded by fashion enthusiasts in a packed building in Paris.

Without leaning into the criticism, Robot merely showed viewers how he proudly represented Mzansi in the fashion capital of the world.

The video featured the classic pantsula plastic crate performance and the iconic Skhothane Ultra Mel custard showcase, which involves dancers pouring a carton of custard on the ground while dancing.

While the dairy-filled part of the show was the driver of the controversy surrounding the performance, the full video provided some much-needed context for several viewers whose ridicule has been replaced by a surge of support.

As he looks forward to making more historical moves on the world map, Robot Boii has once again proven that Mzansi’s street culture has a seat at the table of global high fashion.

By staying true to his roots, the star didn't just perform; he educated an international audience on the vibrancy of South African life.
