One user took to Twitter and wrote, “I honestly wouldn’t have a girlfriend who goes around dancing on the streets no matter how much it brings to the pocket.” Another one wrote over a picture of choreographer Bontle Modiselle, “This is the only South African dancer that can turn Italy upside down.” Another tweep who had something to say was popular Tweleb Chris Excel who teased Kamo with the tweet, “Why is she scaring Italians?”

Everything is communicating”. Another user shared her love for the dancer in a tweet that reads, “Kamo can still dance, y’all just become haters when people succeed at life.”
