Somizi dishes out classy clapback to homophobic tweet
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Don't mess with Somgaga! A Twitter user learned the hard way that Somizi does not have time for homophobic behaviour.
Somizi 'Somgaga' Mhlongo was minding his own business on social media when a Twitter user decided to be shady.
The drama started when the tweep asked: “How does Somizi celebrate father’s day?”

Somgaga had the perfect response.
"I wake up. Go outside. Decide which car to drive. Then decide which house I wanna sleep at between free state. Kzn. Dainfern. Fourways. Soweto. Parys. Then call my daughter to come get my bank card to spoil herself. Wena? I'll listen on the radio," he fired back.

Somizi's followers also clapped back at the tweep's "ignorant" comment.
"Because irrespective of his sexual preference he still fathered his daughter. Like any man his sperm created his daughter, being gay does not make him a women. By classification ya home affairs he is still a man.," one commented.

Sexuality, gender and one's choice of reproduction are not that interrelated.... think out of the box🙄🙄🙄

Someone's sexuality doesn't change their gender.

He is a father too and he has every right to celebrate.

Somizi is openly gay and often discusses the challenges facing the LGBTQI+ community.
He has also talked about his relationship with his 25-year-old daughter Bahumi Madisakwane, whom he shares with actress Palesa Madisakwane.
Bahumi praised Somizi for being an amazing dad in a sweet post she shared on Father's Day a few days ago.
"God as my Father, thank you for gifting me with these two precious fathers in my life. I certainly know why I need them both. Teach me to be an honorable daughter to both of them. Cover them and enrich them; and above all I pray you immerse those who may be fatherless in your love, as the true living Father of us all. I also pray they don’t kill me for these pictures. Amen."
