Video of fast-rising South African entertainer Uncle Vinny being strangled on stage by fans out of love has gone viral over the internet.
At just 19-years-old, Vinny is already one of the most influential personalities in mzansi right now, filling up venues across South Africa and more notably the streets of Braamfontein.
From the video shared by Twitter user Man’s NOT Barry Roux @advovolicious it is clear that the fans cannot get enough of Vinny and are now putting his safety at risk.
In the video the youngster is seen being pulled by fans by the neck whiles performing stage. It didn’t look like they wanted to cause him any harm but were just excited to meet their idol. “Sad generation almost killed Uncle Vinny Sunday night,” the Twitter user wrote.
Watch video below:
During the interview Uncle Vinny revealed he grew up in Hillbrow, where he developed his love for the game.
“I started doing theatre in Grade 4. I had the love of SA Hip Hop before I was introduced to Hip Hop. I’m more of a curious person. If I like something, I get to it fast. I just liked radio.” He continues.
“In Grade 7 we did this project in Hillbrow Theatre. We had a frequency where only people at the flat would be able to listen to radio. I tried radio in Grade 8 and they told me I was too young.” Then Bongani, who was a station manager at the time allowed Vinny to come and guest present. At the time they didn’t have a presenter for a teen show.
