@Shwe: When I saw Stoan on The Wife, I was shocked. His acting really is terrible.

@Mokgadi_SA_: But truth be told Stoan is terrible on The Wife extremely so.

@haphan_billy: The way Stoan is getting some beating he'll surly come later and say his account was hacked!

@Lungii_T: That character bao fileng yona (they gave you) on The Wife is not by mistake o bhari (you're an idiot) even when you're not acting.

The TV personality Stoan Seate admitted in an interview with Sunday World that he never auditioned for his role in The Wife.

STOAN SEATE GETS DRAGGED BY BONGO MAFFIN FANS The Wife actor Stoan Seate, who began his music career as a member of Bongo Maffin began trending after EFF member of parliament Naledi Chirwa dragged him following his F*CK EFF comment.

Chirwa responded to Seate's F*ck EFF tweet by saying: A little tender in the North West makes you swear at us for no reason? Fuck you le wena Stoan. Ebile you can't act .

Another tweep @LedwabaThabangt added that the musician Seate also can't rap or sing or whatever he calls it.

@EVILewanaqN: What I hated the most is that he always managed to get his spoken-word weak bars sandwiched in-between the star performances of every record, so you couldn't even skip the song when it got to his part.

@sheldon_cameron: Not Stoan s tweet pushing more numbers than streams for his music.

Thandiswa would ALWAYS open on a high note. Speedy would take the baton and RUN with it and just as you re waiting for Jah Seed to switch things up enter the blemish of the group to just stink up and slowed down the whole record.

Why did they never close with him??

Nqanawe Cebolenkosi Shangase (@EVILewanaqN) March 20, 2023

I took his verses like the songs commercial break but a popular ad break with a wack jingle you still sang along to, like Ellerines or Joshua Door.

Loyiso BLoQue (@LoyisoBLoQue) March 20, 2023

His raps had absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics of the overall song

. (@mots0o) March 20, 2023

You actually said what most of us always though but never dared say, we used to press fast forward when his verse comes on.
