South African social media personality Tsekeleke has found himself on the wrong side of Mzansi after making comments about fellow TikToker Dr Gravestone's appearance during a live broadcast.
What was supposed to be an entertaining TikTok Live session quickly turned uncomfortable when Tsekeleke repeatedly made remarks about Dr Gravestone's physical appearance, leaving viewers unimpressed with his behaviour.
Despite the comments directed at him, Dr Gravestone reportedly remained calm throughout the interaction, attempting to get Tsekeleke to participate in a TikTok Live match rather than engaging in the insults.
However, social media users were not willing to let Tsekeleke's remarks slide. As clips of the interaction circulated online, viewers accused the entertainer of body-shaming and bullying Dr Gravestone.
Many questioned why Tsekeleke felt comfortable making fun of someone else's appearance, with some pointing out the irony of his remarks and suggesting that he should take a look in the mirror before criticising others.

Others expressed disappointment in his behaviour, arguing that his growing popularity should come with greater responsibility, particularly when interacting with fellow content creators.
The backlash quickly escalated, with some social media users threatening to unfollow Tsekeleke and encouraging others to do the same.
While Tsekeleke has built a following through his humorous personality and viral moments, his latest interaction has sparked a conversation about the difference between entertaining an audience and humiliating someone for laughs.
As the criticism continues, many are waiting to see whether Tsekeleke will address the backlash or apologise to Dr Gravestone.
