UNCLE Vinny responds to trollssayi­ng he has fallen. Someone who has been at the forefront of the GenZ phenomenon is none other than Kabelo Vincent Ndlovu, popularly known as Uncle Vinny.

The 20-year-old has made a name for himself, mostly for his dancing prowess, inspiring the viral #UncleVinny­Challenge even famous faces such as rapper Riky Rick joined in: the Mali Eningi hitmaker posted a video to Instagram of himself, shirtless and sporting a red Balenciaga towel, as he gives the dance challenge his own interpreta­tion.

Mute

Uncle Vinny has taken to social media to address his haters and trolls after months of being mute to all the bullying and hatred exuded at him. The entertaine­r came to the spotlight two years ago through his signature dance moves, but he’s gotten trolled for almost a year for not making bigger moves like Kamo Mphela and other young stars who came to the limelight around the same time he did.

Some social media users even mocked him, as it’s assumed that he’s fallen. During a live chat on Instagram, Vinny addressed all that has been said about him; he condemned those who enjoy ranting about him unnecessar­ily on social media.

Tired

“I’m gonna get tired one day, I’m really going to get tired and when I get tired for real, you guys are not going to like it. Don’t come here and talk like you know me, you don’t know me!” he said. Speaking to someone beside him, he said: “I’m going to deal with them today. People are quick to talk, Vinny that, Vinny that! When we are winning you guys don’t talk, you’re silent.” He also opened up about how people mocked him for spraying money at an unbothered crowd in Ghana. “Drink your coffee, too quick to spread. Vinny throws money, it’s not our money, it’s mine!”
