Last week Somizi had to fly back to Johannesburg to take care of Vusi after caught a stomach bug.
Posting screenshot pictures of a video call with Vusi, Somizi said: “Can someone tell this one that I’m his best friend, not his mother… he is such a crybaby when sick and now I have to fly back to Joburg coz he has a minor stomach whatever hayi suka maan”.
The duo made headlines when Somizi hit back at social media users who questioned Vusi’s sexuality.
Somizi took aim at social media trolls with some strong words.
This came after he was dragged for using a troll's financial position against him in a clap back.
