Lvovo Clarifies He Is Not on Twitter, Says An Impersonator Is Behind The Controversial Posts

• Lvovo says he has not used X since 2020 and claims recent posts linked to him are not his
• His video statement comes after social media users associated him with posts from the account called 'Put South Africa First'
• The musician clarified that he supports efforts against illegal immigration but is not behind the account's content

Kwaito star Lvovo Derrango has addressed confusion after his name was linked to controversial posts circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter. The musician says he is no longer active on the platform and has not posted there since 2020.

Lvovo Derrango, known for hit songs such as Resista, is one of South Africa’s well-known kwaito artists and has now moved to clear his name after an impersonator began sharing posts under an account linked to him. The musician, who is still recovering after several near-death experiences including a stroke, says the misleading online activity comes at a sensitive time in his healing journey, as he works to distance himself from the fake account and set the record straight with fans.

According to Lvovo, his last activity on the platform dates back to 2020.

The clarification comes after some social media users associated him with posts discussing South Africa's ongoing immigration debate. The account, which now carries the name "Put South Africa First", regularly shares content relating to border control, immigration and current affairs.
