The internet’s favourite toddler, Zuluboy, went viral yet again after calling out his mother for "lying" during a social media prank.

The video, shared on February 5, 2026, by his mom, Facebook user Lujabe Siphe, gained massive views and thousands of comments from viewers who said they never miss a Zuluboy video.

The prank began with the mom asking Zuluboy to agree with everything she said for a video meant for his followers, “ama parents”, a request the well-mannered boy initially accepted with a calm nod. The peace didn't last long once the mom started describing an imaginary weekday morning routine while at home.
