• An American man who had beef with South Africans made fun of a distinct feature in one of South Africa's languages
• A South African responded with a diss track, pointing out that the man's mother tongue wasn't his own
• South African social media users were in awe of the fire bars and expressed pride in the comment section

An American TikTok user, @brianjehova, shared that he had been beefing with South Africans. He seemingly headed into degrading territory as he mocked the clicks while discussing languages used in each country. A South African didn't let this slide and created a diss track, which received a round of applause from locals.

@whatsupcreed posted a video of the song on 7 December, 2025, highlighting how English was brought to the United States by the British and how South Africa has more national languages than the United States.
