  "account": "International dancer Matome Robert Mahlatse Thoka, known as Limpopo Boy, is moving forward with his global tour despite rumors of a sex scandal that has been trending on social media. Limpopo Boy insists his World Tour 10 is still scheduled to take place, despite claims that sponsors had withdrawn support following the leak of a private video featuring a married woman. The controversy erupted online, with the woman and her husband responding publicly to the viral video. In response, Limpopo Boy issued an apology admitting he should have verified the woman's marital status before sharing a private moment with her. He expressed deep regret for the pain caused, particularly to the Shai family, and denied being a \"home wrecker.\" Despite the scandal, Limpopo Boy's upcoming tour remains on track, with performances planned in Switzerland in October and Russia in December.",
