Embattled artist, Limpopo Boy has dropped from the inaugural Creators Assembly lineup in Botswana following his leaked private video content on social media.
IT DOESN’T rain but pour for embattled Limpopo Boy, real name Robert Matome Thoka.
He was been dropped from the inaugural Creators Assembly 2026 lineup in Botswana.
Organisers and sponsor BBS Bank announced his removal on August 10, following the online circulation of a leaked private video.
Organisers have officially announced his removal from the programme on August 10, even though they did not explicitly state any reason in their official brief.
The announcement directly followed intense public backlash and social media scrutiny over a leaked private video.
The video has sparked heavy online debate regarding personal privacy versus the moral and public standards expected of entertainment figures and other celebrities.
Limpopo Boy Crew Management released a formal statement describing the material as stolen content that was distributed without authorisation.
“We are aware of the unauthorized and malicious distribution of private video content linked to Limpopo Boy – Robert Matome Thoka.
This content was stolen without consent and shared entirely without authorization. This is a severe violation of privacy and a criminal matter. We are in process of engaging cybersecurity experts to investigate the source of this breach. We are actively working with legal teams and hosting platforms to ensure the immediate removal of these links and files.
We request that the public to assist by refraining from sharing, downloading, or interacting with these links, as distributing this material is unlawful and causes further harm.”
Limpopo Boy himself posted a personal statement on the matter but later deleted it. Online reactions have been mixed, with some users focusing on the privacy breach while others speculated about the identity and personal circumstances of the woman who appears in the footage.
The incident has once again highlighted the challenges of non-consensual sharing of private intimate material in the digital age.
South African law treats the distribution of such content without consent as a serious offence, and the artist’s team has indicated it is pursuing all available legal avenues.
The dancer has built a significant career as a performer and content creator.
Since he burst on the entertainment scene, Limpopo Boy has become a well-known dancer, choreographer and musician.
He has built a large following through his performances in the amapiano and Bujwa styles.
