Lemogang Tsipa Deemed Beyoncé’s Lookalike in TikTok Filter: “They Say It’s Giving B”

• Shaka iLembe protagonist Lemogang Tsipa saw that he resembled songstress Beyoncé after using a TikTok filter
• The actor shared that he always knew he looked like the famous superstar, even though others had a stronger resemblance
• Social media users in the post's comment section were in stitches after seeing Lemogang's reaction to witnessing his supposed doppelgänger

Lemogang Tsipa, who portrays the protagonist Shaka in the show Shaka iLembe, recently found out his celebrity doppelgänger. Thanks to a filter, he humorously discovered that he resembled the multi-award-winning media mogul Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.

The well-known actor took to his TikTok account on 11 September, 2025 to try out the filter called Your Celebrity Lookalike. A few seconds after its application, a picture of the former Destiny's Child group member popped up on the screen above Lemogang's head.

He comically stated in his video that he always knew the Single Ladies hitmaker was his lookalike, adding in the caption of his post:

"They say it's giving B."

While Lemogang is confident in the resemblance, it's not as strong as that of one Brazilian woman, Juhmachado, who had the online community questioning reality and was convinced that they were seeing double.

Last year, while demonstrating remarkable skills in makeup artistry, the woman looked eerily similar to Beyoncé.

Sorry, Lemogang, but Juhmachado seems to be the queen of Beyoncé lookalikes!

The actor's video had thousands of local social media users laughing their way to the comment section after seeing the comparison. While some called him Shaka Fierce, referring to Beyoncé's well-known alter ego, Sasha Fierce, others were amused by the commentary in the clip.

@reaschwarz said to Lemogang:

"Well, I mean, you are the Beyoncé of the Zulus wena weNdlovu."

A surprised @nolu_thando2 wrote under the post:

"Bathong, is this really your voice? I thought it was just for Shaka purposes."
