How did the conversation start?

A scroll through @ruralzulugirl_stylist's TikTok page will definitely have one asking whether DJ Lamiez Holworthy has an identical twin sister. The lady who rocks Lamiez's style, down to her tattooed arm and signature hairstyle, had many thinking she was either inspired or had an obsession with the media personality.

Just like many celebs, including Sol Phenduka and AKA, who have doppelgangers online, fans started tagging Lamiez, hoping the two would play along and even meet up one day.

However, @ruralzulugirl_stylist had no kind words for fans who pointed out the obvious resemblance. South Africans jumped into her comments section, noting the woman's likeness to the DJ. To everyone's surprise, the woman lashed out at them. In many of her viral responses, she even used profanities to attack the commenters.

After noticing that the trend had gone on for too long, Lamiez Holworthy broke her silence, bringing receipts. The media personality noted how she was okay with the resemblance and thought it was cute until she noticed the nasty comments towards fans who pointed out the resemblance.

"It creeped me out a bit, but overall I found it flattering. I think it’s just getting out of hand because this lady has now resorted to swearing at people who innocently mention her looking like me, and every response has my name along with a vulgar slur in it."

Lamiez also proved that the lady had started imitating her style after she had become a famous DJ. She shared pictures of how @ruralzulugirl_stylist had copied her outfits long after she had rocked them. She posted a collage and said:

"Please kindly pay attention to the dates of these posts. 2018 vs 2020 Again, my issue isn’t the fact that she mimicked me; my issue is in her blatantly denying it, swearing at innocent people and alluding to the fact that I copied her instead. Where’s the hair and tattoos in 2020?"

Fans react to Lamiez Holworthy's post

Social media users weighed in on the DJ's post. Many echoed the same sentiments as Lamiez, stating that the woman should not be offended when fans mention the similarities.

@Mpume Sithe Phakathi said

"It's weird how she gets angry, yet she's copied and pasted everything from you. Yes, it would be cute if it were innocent, but it's actually creepy, especially the way she responds to people."

"I didn’t understand why she was insulting people, but I thought maybe I was creepy for not understanding her."

@Mechil Tanya Edom said:

"Thank you for addressing this. She is definitely mimicking you, from the tattoos, hairstyle, outfits, it all shows... why is she denying?"
