CONTROVERS­IAL gossipmong­er Musa Khawula is no longer spilling the tea on Twitter – he’s now kicked off a Youtube channel, The Pope Of Pop Culture.

Khawula is well known for stirring the pot on Twitter, with reports on some of Mzansi’s favourite celebritie­s, but after he recently posted DJ Lulo Cafe’s nudes, his account was suspended when Twitter users reported him.

Now, Khawula is back and on a much stronger platform – Youtube.

He has even taken a page out of the “queen of gossip” Wendy Williams’s book.

Khawula’s set is purple and he sits on a purple chair, just like Williams. He also copies one of her famous lines: “Come closer, get into this”.

As with his Twitter account, people are flocking to his Youtube channel, which already has 24.8k subscriber­s.

Khawula is spilling the tea, unfiltered, expressing himself with more than just 280 characters.

He is certainly not mincing his words on his channel and has even asked TV and radio personalit­y Moshe Ndiki to return his hair, after the two had a brawl earlier this year and Ndiki pulled out his dreadlocks.

His beef with Lerato Kganyago is also far from over. In an episode, Khawula verbally referred to her as “Bonang lite” and a “talentless woman”.

Khawula, who is out on bail in connection with the murder of Wandile Khambule, has sparked mixed reactions from the public with his Youtube channel.

“Musa Khawula’s content quality is on another level. You can’t help but watch the whole show unaware that time is flying. I hope he just stays safe,” said Tshikosi Phathutshe­dzo.

Celebritie­s and influencer­s may not be fans of Khawula, but it seems other people are in support of his decision to spill the tea on his Youtube channel.

@ontiretse2­7 said: “I’m sorry to inform you that Musa Khawula’s Youtube channel is going to blow up … gossip sells plus Musa doesn’t kheredam.”

@Sr_incredible said: “The fact that Musa Khawula is now talking sh** on camera with his chest, I’m afraid I have to stan.”

@_bulo_m: “Okay so get Musa Khawula suspended on Twitter. Then go on you tube, record, and bring his content to twitter. Ay.”
