Somizi Mhlongo may have had plenty of reasons to hit the nightclub on Monday, but this fan captured an interesting moment from the revered celebrity’s outing.
Watch: Somizi Mhlongo gets cozy with ‘love’ interest
The 49-year-old capped off a great business day with a night out at Ayepyep in Menlyn, GP. However, it seems he was not alone and, by the looks of it, was thoroughly enjoying the company of an unidentified man.
A curious fan could sight of the cozy display between Mhlongo and the unknown man, and quickly whipped out their phone to capture the moment on TikTok.
Mhlongo was not too inebriated to see what was going on. Quickly, the revered choreographer removed his arms from around the man’s shoulders and awkwardly proceeded to dance, as if the intimate moment between him and the gentleman was… a figment of the imagination?
Clearly, Mhlongo was far from pleased about having his privacy invaded by the curious fan. The video clip ends just as he interrogates the fan about recording him without permission.

Mhlongo, who could be on his way back to the Idols SA judge panel, was recently embroiled in an extortion scandal involving an up-and-coming event promoter. The man renowned as ‘Aliboy’ accused Mhlongo of demanding sex in exchange for his availability at one of his fashion shows.
This, of course, Mhlongo vehemently denied and even had the screenshots of their WhatsApp interactions to prove it.
Also, the 49-year-old has been rumoured to be dating Lindile Mbadu, the former bestfriend of his estranged husband Mohale Motaung.
According to murmurs, it was at Ayepyep’s Cape Town branch where Mbadu and Mhlongo were seen lip-locked.
It seems, more than anything, Ayepyep brings the ‘wild and unhinged’ out of Mhlongo.
