VIDEO: DJ Zinhle thirsty for Chris Brown! South African DJ and businesswoman Ntombezinhle “DJ Zinhle” Jiyane had fans and social media buzzing when she shared her excitement over Chris Brown’s arrival in Johannesburg.
The American R&B star landed in South Africa on Wednesday for a two-day concert at FNB Stadium in Soweto, part of his “Under the Influence” tour.
In a series of lighthearted posts, DJ Zinhle jokingly expressed her desire to find out where the global superstar was staying, lamenting that work commitments would prevent her from attending his show. However, her playful remarks received mixed reactions online.
DJ Zinhle: “I’m Not OK”
Taking to her social media, DJ Zinhle made no secret of her excitement over Brown being in the city, describing the situation as “unbearable.”
“Guys, Christopher has arrived, and I’m not OK,” she posted. “He’s here in Joburg and could literally be staying 20 or 30 minutes away from me, and I won’t be able to see him. I’m honestly not OK.”
In a humorous twist, she asked her fans for intel on Brown’s whereabouts, even joking about camping outside his hotel to catch a glimpse of him.
“Please tell me where he lives so I can go camp outside his hotel,” she added, drawing laughter from her followers.

Work Commitments Keep Zinhle Away
Unfortunately for Zinhle, her busy schedule meant she wouldn’t be able to attend Brown’s concert.
“I won’t be able to go to his show because I’ll be working,” she lamented. “What will I be if Chris Brown goes back to his country without [me] seeing him?”
Adding to the humor, she jokingly warned her followers not to post about seeing Brown in public if they spotted him outside the concert.
“If anyone sees him outside the concert and posts about him, I’ll block you,” she quipped.
Social Media Reacts
While many fans found her posts endearing and relatable, not everyone was amused. A wave of criticism emerged, with some social media users questioning her enthusiasm for Brown given that she’s a married woman. Critics accused her of crossing boundaries, despite the lighthearted tone of her comments.
