Amapiano vocalist Aymos, known for hits like *Babili Shili*, has once again found himself at the centre of social media chatter, this time over a meme that questioned both his style and his gender identity. Instead of clapping back, the singer let a single word do the heavy lifting.

The meme in question placed a portrait photo of Aymos wearing a patterned top side by side with an image of a tomboyish woman. The accompanying text read:

"You know the December is going to be fire when these two 'not-straight' release songs in September."

Not the first rodeo

Online assumptions about Aymos's sexuality and soft-spoken persona are nothing new. Internet trolls have previously used his style and demeanour as fodder for jokes, but the singer has built a reputation for brushing it off without making a scene.

Aymos Shili's lighthearted response this time around earned him praise from supporters who admired his ability to take the banter in his stride while keeping the focus firmly on his music. With summer on the horizon, fans are clearly more interested in what he is dropping than what he is wearing.
