After Twitter detectives discovered that rapper Jay-Z had finally followed someone on the platform, nearly everyone was surprised to find that instead of Beyoncé, it was a random South African man.

 

Global (25 June, 2023)—Recently in the world of Twitter, one South African man shocked the platform’s streets by becoming the only person rapper Jay-Z followed, especially when not even Beyoncé—Jay-Z’s wife—got the follow back.

Nearly everyone was surprised, except for the man,@VusiMaxatshwa1 himself.

South Africa Confused, But Happy to Take the Win

After Twitter detective @ChrisExcel revealed that @VusiMaxatshwa1 got Jay-Z’s only nod of approval a few days ago, South African Twitter erupted.

As several users verified that Mr. Carter did in fact follow Mavusana, the unexpected discovery sparked questions, celebrations, hilarious reactions and sent @VusiMaxatshwa1 trending all over the platform.

While surprise took hold of most people, @VusiMaxatshwa1 remained calm, cool and collected.

“Guys…It’s very simple. Real recognizes Real,” he shared confirming the follow.

Does Jay-Z Just Want to be South African?

Despite the follow likely being an accident (and since unfollowed), this isn’t the first time the rapper has given his ‘only follow’ to a South African. Many recalled the global star’s last big follow a few years back, which again, did not go to Beyoncé, but to South Africa’s Thule Mgaga.
