Thuli P Exposes Rich Men With ‘Bad Breath And Big Bellies’ – Mzansi Points At DJ Maphorisa

South African actress and DJ, Thuli Phongolo, has the TL buzzing after she unleashed a brutal rant about wealthy men who splurge on designer fits but apparently forget the basics—soap, toothpaste, and a gym membership. The star, affectionately known as Thuli P, took to Instagram on Wednesday, 27 August 2025, to school Mzansi’s “dripped-out” gents on the importance of hygiene.

“I want to start a business/page where I give step-to-step personal hygiene tips! Especially for men,” she wrote. “I just don’t get it. Why would a person have so much access, information, social media, Google, family, friends etc., and still lack personal hygiene or the desire to fix things that could contribute to your wellbeing and confidence?”

Her words had social media in stitches—while some gents were offended, the ladies were clapping for Thuli, saying “SIS SAID WHAT WE ALL THINKING!”

“Designer Clothes Can’t Hide Halitosis!”

Thuli P didn’t hold back—she dragged the flashy-but-funky brigade with a full-on list of hygiene musts.

“Imagine being dripped in designer head-to-toe but you suffer from halitosis. PLEASE MAN, FOR YOURSELF! ADOPT A PERSONAL HYGIENE ROUTINE. HAVE DOCTORS THAT CAN ADVISE ACCORDINGLY FOR DIFFERENT HEALTH CONCERNS (research on the Internet if you don’t have the means) – WORK ON YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL – GO TO GYM OR EXERCISE AT HOME. THE BIG BELLIES AREN’T HEALTHY. It’s not a look; it’s a health concern – FIX YOUR TEETH – EAT WELL – READ – BE NEAT.”

She wrapped her sermon with a hot one: “Having money does not substitute thee above. GENTLEMEN PLEASE, most of you are slacking! The ladies sent me to tell you that we are suffering and you speak so close to our faces.”

Yeyi! If your breath ain’t fresh, Thuli just handed you a free consultation.

Is This a Subtle Jab at Maphorisa?

Of course, Mzansi wasted no time connecting the dots—could Thuli P be throwing shade at her on-again-off-again flame, DJ Maphorisa?

We know their situationship has been rocky: from steamy dating rumours in 2022, to viral clips of them ccosy-ing upto that ugly assault case that shook the nation in 2023. Even though things quieted down publicly, fans never stopped watching their moves.

Now, with Thuli dragging “rich men in designer with bad hygiene,” the streets are whispering: “Uhm… is Big Phori catching strays here?” 👀

Twitter was quick with the subtext:

@queenb_liv said: “Thuli is DEFINITELY talking about Phori. The timing isn’t random.”

@sanelilegend added: “We all know a certain DJ who loves Gucci but forgets Dettol.” 😂

@simphiwem said: “Maphorisa must be somewhere sweating in his Louis Vuitton tracksuit rn.”

Whether it was a general PSA or a direct shot at her ex, Thuli’s rant hit a nerve. Mzansi babes are praising her for putting hygiene above hype, while the gents are suddenly stocking up on Listerine and dumbbells.
