ChrisExcel Calls Out Sir Trill's Filter Obsession: Internet In Stitches

Amapiano star Sir Trill has found himself at the center of a social media storm following the release of a video where he is seen enjoying his track 'Modimo'. While the music was meant to be the focus, fans were quickly distracted by the artist's noticeably altered appearance.

The clip, which features the singer alongside Kelvin Momo and Murumba Pitch's sounds, went viral on October 13. Critics were quick to point out that the digital enhancements used in the footage made the vocalist look significantly smoother and lighter than his natural complexion.

Notorious social media commentator ChrisExcel was among the first to react, sharing the video with a sharp critique. He didn't just target Sir Trill, but also dragged DJ Oscar Mbo into the conversation, noting that both artists seem to have a penchant for digital touch-ups.

"No one abuses filters like this, brother and Oscar Mbo," ChrisExcel posted. The comment highlights a growing trend of male celebrities in the local scene being teased for their commitment to a filtered aesthetic.

Mzansi Weighs In

The reaction from South African social media users was swift and ruthless. Many fans questioned why high-profile male artists feel the pressure to modify their looks so drastically for short social media clips.

User @mizz_knievil suggested that the artists should embrace their natural skin tones rather than chasing a "yellow bone" look. Another user, @TrezzLife, joked about the shock of seeing the artist in person compared to his online persona, asking: "Ungambona live 😭😭".

A History of Drama

Some users even used the moment to poke fun at Sir Trill's past grievances in the industry. One commenter joked that DJ Maphorisa still owed the singer money for a high-end iPhone, referencing long-standing rumors about the artist's financial disputes.

This latest controversy follows a period of frustration for Sir Trill, who recently expressed disappointment after being left out of the Red Bull Symphonic lineup. As the debate over authenticity continues, the singer has yet to respond to the latest round of filter-related mockery.
