It was announced recently that Somizi Mhlongo’s daughter, Bahumi Madisakwane is set to play the role of the young late Lebo Mathosa in the iconic singer's biopic The Lebo Mathosa Story.
The news received major backlash, social media bashed Somizi’s daughter for apparently bagging the role because she is Somizi and Palesa Madisakwane's daughter.
Bahumi and Singer Kelly Khumalo are set to star as Lebo Mathosa in the biopic about her life which will be released later this year.

The news were later confirmed by Phil Mphela.
In the wake of the Twitter storm, which resulted in Bahumi topping the trends list on Tuesday night, Somizi wrote a letter of encouragement to his daughter.
"Listen! Never ever question why you get certain opportunities in life. You deserve everything and you must take anything and everything they said you would never have. f**k the haters. It's not your fault that you're my daughter." He wrote in part.
Nandi Madida backed Somizi up, saying that in Hollywood young talent is celebrated and Mzansi needs to do teh same!
