Rural Zulu Girl fires shots at Lamiez Holworthy over her father and looks: "The audacity"

The long-standing tension between DJ Lamiez Holworthy and fashion creator Rural Zulu Girl has reached boiling point. Over a two-day social media spree, the influencer launched a series of personal attacks against the Metro FM star, touching on sensitive topics like family absence and physical appearance.

Family History and Academic Jabs

The conflict escalated on August 12, 2026, when Rural Zulu Girl shared an Instagram Story that seemed to mock Lamiez’s upbringing. She used a specific Soul Brothers song to emphasize what she described as a 'pitiful' situation regarding the DJ’s relationship with her biological father, Sello 'Chicco' Twala.

Shifting the focus to her own credentials, the content creator boasted about her academic success in Psychology and Psychiatry. She claimed to have passed with 'flying colours' and suggested her professional rise was earned without resorting to provocative behavior or 'twerking' her way to the top.

A Clash Over Appearance

The second wave of the attack followed on August 13, shortly after Lamiez appeared at Free State Fashion Week. Rural Zulu Girl fired back at alleged insults, accusing the DJ of body-shaming her legs while claiming Lamiez’s own fans were encouraging the behavior.

This rivalry originally began when internet users noticed the striking physical similarities between the two women. While Lamiez initially took the comparisons in stride, the relationship soured when the content creator took offense at being called a lookalike, leading to a defensive stance from the DJ.

Tensions Remain High

What makes this latest outburst particularly sharp is the timing. Lamiez was recently hospitalized, yet the fashion influencer showed no restraint in her criticisms, proving that their previous attempts at a truce did not last.

As it stands, the feud between the 'original' and her viral lookalike continues to captivate followers, turning what was once a complimentary comparison into a bitter war of words on South African social media.
