Limpopo Boy has been axed from the inaugural Creators Assembly 2026 in Botswana after a private video of him and Matshidiso Matilda surfaced online. Matilda is married to Kevin Shai, and the leak immediately ignited controversy around the content creator's participation in the high-profile event.
The leak, which exposed the adulterous affair, sent shockwaves across social media, and by the following morning the Creators Assembly had already moved to distance itself from the entertainer.
Creators Assembly organisers, together with sponsor BBS Bank, released an official statement on 10 August 2026 confirming the decision. The statement was direct: Limpopo Boy "will no longer be part of the inaugural Creators Assembly." The organisers added that a suitable replacement is being considered, with further details to follow.
The event, which carries the tagline "Creativity, the New Currency," positioned itself as a platform dedicated to growing Botswana's creative economy.

Peeps react after Limpopo Boy gets dropped from event
The announcement drew a strong response from the public. Kesego Kebelaele Okie suggested the reshuffle was an opportunity, writing:
"Let Masbelo be the headline choreographer 📌 and dilute the male dominated line-up! Andrew (Mophato) can handhold her nicely with his international experience ❤️"
Kopano Owen Mongalo kept it simple with a replacement suggestion:
"Bring Don Dada fela once, the guy is humble and talented."
Ontiretse Mboy Saakane backed the organisers' call:
"I believe the organisers made a reasonable decision. When an incident involving a public figure creates serious controversy around an event, organisers have to consider the reputation and interests of the platform, sponsors and other participants. Hopefully, this also serves as a reminder that public figures and content creators need to be mindful of their conduct and the consequences that can come with being in the public eye."
Not everyone agreed. Lesley L Seetso raised a question about accountability, writing:
"I understand. But should we cancel someone based off a moral issue? If it were criminal matter I'd understand especially a convicted matter."
