The Creators Assembly, scheduled to take place from August 19 to 21 at the Grand Aria Hotel and Conference Centre in Gaborone, announced the change on August 10. Although they did not explicitly mention the video as the reason for his removal, the announcement was made on the same day the video began circulating on social media. The Creators Assembly, in partnership with BBS Bank, stated they would consider a replacement and would provide further details soon. Limpopo Boy's management condemned the video's distribution, calling it a severe breach of privacy and a criminal offense. They are working with cybersecurity experts and legal representatives to address the situation and urge the public not to further share or distribute the video.",
