WATCH: Kwaito legend’s big warning!

IMPERSONATORS are causing headaches for kwaito legend Professor.

The legendary kwaito artist has warned people about an individual impersonating him and gossiping about other celebrities on Facebook.

The Lento and Imoto hitmaker voiced concern about an impersonator using his name, Professor Kalawa, on a Facebook page.

This page posts as though it is Professor himself, sharing gossip about other celebrities.

Professor, who has been in the music industry for nearly three decades under Kalawa Jazmee Records and has released many songs, cautioned people about the fake account aimed at tarnishing his image.

The 46-year-old musician from Umlazi, south of Durban, whose real name is Mkhonzeni Langa, told Daily Sun that he feels the impersonator might be someone close to him.

"The reason I feel like it's someone close to me who has information about me is that the page posts things like my new pictures and what I'm doing. But suddenly, the page posts gossip about other celebrities.

"I'm not the type of person who likes to post about others, even about myself. I'm not active on social media, but I feel this page was created to discredit me and make it seem like now I'm focusing on gossiping about others," he said.

Daily Sun visited the page, which has 794 000 followers who believe it was created by Professor.

The page posts top celebrity gossip, Professor's new pictures and upcoming performances.

Professor said he doesn't appreciate it and wants everyone affected to understand that it is not his doing, although the page features positive and negative content.

"I ask anyone who can help to expose this devil because I've tried to report it many times, but unfortunately, it is still running and tarnishing my name," he said.
