The clip, shared on 7 November 2026, reignited a conversation about the relentless body-shaming the star has endured over the years. The bullying appears to have begun on TikTok before spilling onto X, with some users claiming Donald had tried to respond to critics directly on the platform, which only seemed to fuel more ridicule.
South Africans react to the singer's clip
@gurumaster281 added a stark warning to those piling on:
"You cannot say that about another human being; you can suffer the same fate."
Not everyone was sympathetic to the angle of victimhood, though. @nyashazim263 kept it blunt, writing:
"He is just getting old."
@Yknip1 pointed the finger at Donald's own handling of the situation, noting:
"Donald is in denial on TikTok; his fans are cooking him 😅😂😅 South Africans don't deserve internet and social media."
