Following her performance at a school function, influencer and YouTuber Cyan Boujee found herself in the center of a storm in a recent incident that has caused tremendous controversy throughout South Africa. When Boujee started twerking, the event—which was supposed to be a motivational session for students—quickly became more intense, drawing harsh criticism from the general public and on social media.

Renowned for her social media presence and her role in past scandals, Cyan Boujee was scheduled for an event that was referred to as a school celebration with other musicians. The criticism was immediate, with many contending that her acts were unsuitable for a school context, even though she defended herself by saying that it was a party atmosphere where such performances were anticipated. Critics contend that she performed in an unworthy manner and set a bad example for the pupils present, particularly when she was performing in front of minors.
